No surprise. They were heavily de-emphasized after the move from 360 to Xbone and the botched launch of the latter. I'm honestly surprised they even bothered to keep them as long as they had. Good...

That we're even talking about a remaster of Horizon Zero Dawn shows how disgustingly horrible this generation has been at the big-budget level.A live service Horizon will appeal to no one, because li...

@olddadgamer: I'm no Console Wars trogledyte, and you're not wrong about the possibility that the Xbox might be sold off. I just wonder who would even buy it at this point? They've had exactly one s...

@santinegrete: It's a point that pretty desperately needs to be made. Absolute tons of these live service trash heaps have burned to the ground, while Fortnite and Overwatch stand strong. The risk i...

@daidochus: For all our sakes, I hope the damage isn't quite as permanent as Dan Mattrick's has been. Microsoft has never recovered from the abortion that is the Xbox One launch, and I find myself af...

@illegal_peanut: I think Fairgame$ was already in development. Looking like another disaster waiting to happen. Wouldn't be surprised if that's the real reason the PS5 Pro is so atrociously priced - ...

I always take rumors with a grain of salt, especially on GameSpot. That said, at least this one doesn't say " - Report" on the end, so it's got 1% more liklihood to be true.I doubt the system goes b...

@just_visiting: Still, it's professional courtesy. If a company submits a game for certification, at least look at the damn thing. What the game is or isn't is not the problem. Who knows how many o...

@wahsobe: Well,OBVIOUSLY it's better to have more competition than less. However, it's hard to deny that Microsoft has been completely asleep at the wheel since the Xbox One launch, or worse, trying ...

@olddadgamer: I imagine Satya Nadella would like to have all his divisions making money. We can't discount the incompetence we've seen from Phil Spencer.

@bobbo888: I think you're on the wrong issue.No company is a "saint," but Nintendo is clearly doing this in attempt to silence competition. That's bad for the industry, and quite frankly, bad for cap...

@gamerboy100: Well, I think the real issue with Nintendo's case is that they're not telling Pocketpair what patents were being violated. If Nintendo had a case, they'd have those lined up.

If Nintendo hasn't given Pocketpair a list of the patents violated, why not? It's almost as if they know they don't have a case and were hoping Pocketpair would fold immediately.

If Microsoft isn't committed enough to even pay attention when games are submitted for certification, maybe it's time they get out of this business. Tragic as it would be to lose the Xbox brand enti...

@tsunami2311: Oh they know what they're doing. They're putting a bullet in the console business to focus on their cannibalizing Game Pass. The division hasn't been worth a pint of piss since Peter M...

@teddytabs: Stop. Overwatch was diverse as all hell, and had a massive following until Blizzard crapped all over it with OW2. Fact is, Concord could have been the most incel-friendly, Republican game...

@chuckratm1: Stop. Just stop. This game is a wholly derivitive game, mimicking established names and offering nothing new, and they had the audacity to charge for it. That the game's world and char...

@illegal_peanut: I'm not sure. Jim Ryan lost his CEO position on the back of his massive live service push. They may try to find some way to salvage Concord, but I imagine they'll be a lot more slow...

@mrbojangles25: Never got Youngblood because it seemed to rely way too much on online co-op, but the two single player games were amazing. I'd love to see more in that vein.
