Wccftech went hands-on with the Razer Turret, the mouse and keyboard combo coming to Xbox One with official support and integration, at CES 2019.
"Following a great event in November of last year, DevGAMM Lisbon is coming back to the beautiful and sunny Cascais region to catch up with old friends, connect with game developers from around the world, hear from seasoned professionals, and have a great time all around." - DevGAMM.
The move away from written coverage of games is a problem for journalists and for the games industry.
What we need is a more honest games media. I'm sorry but if you're an outlet in bed with a publisher or getting goodies to attend preview/ review events then you can't be trusted to be objective. Very similar to the need for getting money out of politics.
Most game journalists are pariahs and low level marketing drones. They got too greedy and cannibalized their respect and trust. Something they learned not to do in their journalism schools. This is why we might as well watch gameplay critics on You Tube. Don't get me wrong, I love reading, but for every genuine article there is a thousand game journalist trying to gloss over monetization schemes so they can sell the game to gamers in order to get free games to do their jobs. It gets old. Even this piece doesn't address the problem.
We need better media in all aspects of society, period. Everything from the gaming press, to MSM is all fueled by clickbait headlines, half truths and buzzword topics that don't give much meat or meaning for the reader to benefit from.

PC users have had an advantage for a while, this levels the playing field if you can afford it
Maybe this will help me actually win a match in PUBG..
The grey area between Xbox and PC becomes greyer.
Most competitive games that have confirmed support for keyboard and mouse have also said they plan to have separate matchmaking dedicated to k/m or controller users.
I think Gears 4 is the only major game that has cross platform competitive gameplay atm, and it started off as a beta thing before seemingly being underused or not too unbalanced at least (gameplay in it isn’t the same as a regular FPS however). I doubt Halo Infinite will be throwing controller users in that world day 1 either, and is more likely to stay that way too as the bunny hop shooters see a big boost compared to most other titles (controllers usually having jump defaulted to face buttons which requires you to either jump or change camera but not both at the same without changing to something like bumper jumping—or holding the controller really weird which some can train themselves to do but I’ll never even attempt).
Who is this for? I mean, for the price of an xbox1x and this gear, you could by a comparable computer that would do a whole lot more.
