The Games Cabin writes - "Microsoft's confirmed the deal with Mojang, Minecraft is now the property of Microsoft. Reactions around the world are varying with fans of the hit game worried that Microsoft may not support their chosen console or device, (they will,) and others pondering what Microsoft has in store for the developer and their cherished product.
Then we have industry professionals weighing in on Twitter, some with tweets of amazement, shock and some just plain out trolling."
Minecraft's 15th year anniversary is being celebrated with a new free map, one filled with memorabilia from the game's history.
The Xbox brand has done a lot of good over the years, but their various blunders are pretty wild to look back on in their magnitude.
Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)
Phil Spencer is the worst that has happened to Xbox.
They built a respectable brand up to Xbox one. Then this guy took over and things became a joke
Really good video.
I remember the days with RRoD was big news on here, N4G.
Microsoft had it turbulence number of years.
Looking at the success of Sea of Thieves despite being 6 years old, time to release Halo, Forza horizon 4 & 5 on PS5. It'll help their revenue
I found this video painful to watch. Can someone list them out?
Top 10 for me from are:
1. 2013 reveal presentation
2. Bundling Kinect 2 with Xbox One
3. RRoD or why rushing to market with hardware is always a bad idea.
4. Buying studios only to close them.
5. Ads on the Home Screen
6. Letting Halo die.
7. Letting Geard of War die.
8. Every console name
9. Charging for Xbox Live on Xbox 360 when Sony let PS3 players play online for free.
10. Cancelling release of OG Xbox games after the Xbox 360 launched.
Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.
F*** AI
"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...
Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.
It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.
Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.
Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.
LOL @ kazhirai account
lol at the title.. industry reactions list 3 people and one fake account
Most reactions have been positive from the industry and gamers.
Edit: I've been on Reddit all morning. /r/Gaming /r/Minecraft and several others have fairly positive reactions.
Microsoft got ripped off. This is similar to the Beats deal. Paying lots of money for an ok product at best because it is popular with the younger generation. I would rather have them innovate and compete but, clearly they don' want to do that.
-This is a billion dollar marketing buyout.
How did this get approved, the article is ridiculous.
I'm not a fan of Minecraft, it's just not my thing however I think Microsoft has been clear over it's plans in the short term and we can either take the news at face value or moan and gossip, which does nothing bar increase some users blood pressure.
Either way, who do I speak to about getting the few mintues of my life it took me to read the article back?
