Do we need to rescue our kids from the digital world

"Whether they are chatting to their friends on Xbox Live or FaceTime or viewing their profiles on Instagram, these days it seems that there is always a virtual guest in our house"

This article is quite irrelevant; a mainstream media channel worrying about the impact of technology and what the future holds for the future generation. That is the most redundant debate ever. Mainstream media will always fear new technologies cause they're dragging behind and can't understand something that evolves so fast. That's why I always picture these clowns as gran-pas as they don't know what they're talking about more often than not, clueless and therefore fearful.

not only that but the first ones to figure out anything new is generally the younger generation.

Like those child proof locks, more like adult proof.

Az1mov3616d ago

Exactly, they should worry about themselves :)

ravinash3615d ago

At least it comes to the conclusion, don't panic, the kids will be handling the tech better than you are.

What...the f*** did I just read lol

kewlkat0073616d ago

This article could be better but everyday I do see how distant and isolated we are from everyone around us because of technology.

renerak3616d ago

Well, don't let 12year olds play games made for adults, and don't let them play mmos, infact don't let them use internet. They are too stupid and spams ignorant, pathetic, bullshit comments all over the internet. Give them minecraft and make them shut up. And teach them some more english while u r at it, i am not even a native english speaker and i seem to speak/write english with fewer spelling mistakes and grammer mistakes than many of those... lets say ignorant idiots.

Former Dragon Age lead writer David Gaider pours scorn on EA's AI dreams.

"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".

Publishers see gaming as another stock market.

isarai1d 20h ago

I think anyone with some common sense knew this, im glad i don't support their games anymore, what a sh!t company.

Friends don’t let friends buy EA or Ubisoft.

Chocoburger1d 4h ago

I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.

Phil Spencer and the Battle for Xbox’s Soul

Has the rapid growth of Xbox made the ship too heavy? Following the closures of Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, and Roundhouse, we explore what the future of Xbox could look like.

LG_Fox_Brazil2d ago

This ship was never meant to sail, this ship was made from the get go to sink as fast as possible. It almost feels that they want to lower the standards of quality in the industry so that they can fit in

rlow11d 8h ago

I disagree, Xbox from the get go innovated and changed the industry. They did a lot of firsts and standardized a lot of others. It wasn’t till the beginning of the Xbox1 era that things started to go south.

Stevonidas1d 3h ago

Yep, although I’d argue it started going to shit when they tried to hock Kinect on their audience instead of continuing to invest in their studios and IPs. 2001-2010 Xbox was peak gaming, though.

rlow11d 2h ago

@Stevonidas
I agree they never should have focused on it after the 360 era. But you do have to remember they were faked out by the huge volumes of Kinects sold. To quote info on Wikipedia, “Project Natal, It was first released on November 4, 2010, and would go on to sell eight million units in its first 60 days of availability.” So if your Xbox and see these huge sales on a peripheral where are you going to put some money? Criticism in hindsight is worthless…..if only we could all see our future. In other wards they had no way of knowing. Plus they had engagement numbers and a lot of signs pointed to people wanting it.

Their biggest mistake wasn’t the Kinect, but unlike Sony after the PS3 debacle. They didn’t double on down on exclusive good games. The other huge mistake was letting Call of Duty go to Sony.

Phil wants Xbox to be as soulless as him!

Tacoboto1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

Xbox has no soul and Phil has no confidence, and it's impossible to say either do when they killed Tango and Arkane Austin.

Everything they've said since has only made them look worse to a point that they're actually less competent than Embracer.

Markdn1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

Whe you release something like the series S and expect it not to hurt your business model, and developers have to have parity with games. Then you know Microsoft don't care. Series s is the final nail that broke developers,
