Microsoft has passed new content rules for games published under their company and the effects of these new rules could impact the eSports universe significantly. DefaultPrime's Lucas looks more in depth at the consequences of these new rules.
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.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
This has been policy for quite awhile. Microsoft has special for certain groups. All this says is that Timmy can't put up his videos and get paid.
I don't understand why everyone is getting so heated over this. Like Cl1983 said its just to prevent gamers like myself from making a headshot montage in Gears of War and then trying to sell the video.
No, you cannot get paid on YouTube either for your video.
I've never found "esports" to be anything more than laughable... sure, you're good at the game but I don't really care. The only time I like watching video of someone else playing online is when I'm feinding for a game that isn't out yet or one I just got but I'm stuck at work or something.
Sorry if you're into "esports" and my opinion upsets you. I just dont get it.
I'm disappointed to read that any gamer would support Microsoft on this issue...
New policy, wasn't it already established that this has been around for a while now? Now all of a sudden when someone read the fine print now it's a big issue. No one as of yet has been sued or went to jail so why the hype?
Sure are a lot of negative articles about MS as of late. Hmmm, where are the usuals saying that...oh yea they stick to certain articles only.
