Torrence Davis of STFUandPlay writes, "The next generation of console games is upon us. This year Microsoft and Sony will bless us with new hardware, faster networks and a more streamlined Eco system. After the many pains of this 7th generation of consoles, I’m hoping that they’ve learned from their mistakes and are planning on treating us like gamers and not fast food addicts. I’ve come up with a list of things I don’t want to see in generation 8. Rest assured, if I feel like I’m getting screwed over in generation 8, I’ll sell my consoles and stick to mobile and PC gaming.

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
Paul Thurrott in a recent episode commented on the on-going Microsoft fiasco hinting at more job losses and that "there's more to come".
There won't be no more acquiring game publishers from Microsoft in the future . Xbox has to pay Microsoft back. It might take two decades to do that.
There really needs to be a class action lawsuit here. You buy these companies just to put people out of jobs. And it’s not like something happened to derail their plans this WAS the plan. Microsoft has no business in this space at all.
Ninja Theory, Perfect Dark, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Wolfenstein 3, Dishonored, Prey, Doom, Quake... something tells me that bad things are going to happen to these entities under Microsoft.
The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."
“Bond adds that they will start on the web”
This will go nowhere.
Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.
The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.
The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.
The hardware faults were there because Microsoft and Sony tried to stuff hot hardware into a small case. They needed to make the case small for the hardware to satisfy their customers because a lot of the customers want small and fancy. There wasnt enough room for the fans to move air to cool the hot hardware. Another reason for some of the failures was some people were putting the consoles into spaces where there wasnt enough cool air getting to the console.
I agree with this list completely. I would also like to add no day one patches and no DLC for characters and skins unless it is an expansion that is worthy to enough to played separately. Fighting games should never have DLC only unlockables and patches for balancing.......
chances are very unlikely but the only thing i don't want to see next gen is all of the problems DLC has caused
Hardware faults is the only one on the list that isn't guaranteed to happen.
I want to see More LUSH enviorments. Not this static BS that looks like HD ps2 games.
