I've got no problem with reviewing an Early Access work-in-progress game - if they are going to ask for money, then it's useful to have an assessment of the state of what you're getting for that money...

@dacontag: Then Sony's recent patent about theoretically selling items to players in-game must have horrified you.Monetization is part of the industry. He's a platform leader. It's his job to think ...

@Deedubau: Yeah it's definitely a problem. They should think about acquiring a bunch of new studios to make games for them or something.

@reznik00: Your take that Game Pass is "anti consumer" continues it be as hilarious as it is utterly wrong.

God, this comments section sucks. It's an ugly reminder of just how many toxic fanboys are out there, just waiting for fresh bait to pounce on.

@neurogia: Imagine typing this without a hint of irony.

@KiriharaZro: It's almost like maybe the fanboys willfully misunderstood the context of those comments he made regarding "competition" (referring to the cloud gaming future), and Spencer is fully cogn...

@dancingcactus: Well for one, simply dropping a new video card into any PC doesn't make it "better than any Xbox could ever hope to be". For two, not everyone is in a position where they have an agin...

@mooglestar: Comments like these completely (and willfully?) fail to understand what Spencer actually means.Spencer wouldn't release the Xbox Series X, or spend hundreds of millions of dollars (billio...

Playing Reach on PC basically affirmed for me that Halo doesn't need to be a "relic" of a previous era of gaming. The gameplay translates suprisingly well to a mouse and keyboard, and more importantly...

@cejay0813 said:@shakesmcqueen: I partially agree. I think it would be a blunder ONLY if the console doesn't live up to powerhouse expectations. If games can consistently run at 4k/60fps or even vari...

@Slash_out: I think he means that Game Pass provides the kind of continuous revenue stream that companies look for with "recurrent user spending" - except instead of getting it via selling an endless ...

@Thanatos2k: You're always so pleasant to talk to, Thanatos.I didn't say they "don't matter" . I said they aren't direct competitors to what the Xbox and PlayStation offer - higher fidelity console g...

@kgsg-19-2:"and thus that's why electronics that connect to a tv are horizontal."The PS2, PS3, and Xbox 360 were all unveiled in a vertical orientation, like the Series X. And like the Series X, they ...

@Thanatos2k: Because they are the only two choices. Nintendo is still offering a very different experience to Sony and Microsoft, and a comparable PC gaming rig would still cost far more money.You mi...
