Honestly I was looking back and at the launch of the Xbox 1. With Don Matrick at the helm I was disappointed but therevwas something else. That fighting spirit of Xbox at its inception was lost. They stopped innovating, I lost excitement on what the next big new surprise was, because their weren’t any. Not like Halo 2 and Gears launch. You couldn’t really brag about it anymore.
So here we are and corporate MS has ruined what was a beautiful renegade project.
"Right now"?
But not 11 years ago with the disastrous Xbox One reveal which they NEVER recovered from?
Man are you slow on the uptake.
I imagine smaller ABK studios like toys for bob and beenox are now feeling uncertain about their futures
Cultured Vultures: Where would the PS1 be without RPGs? It’d no doubt still be a massive seller thanks to bandicoots, clones, and halfpipes, but half the cultural institution it is today? We’re not so sure.
While most of these games are great to amazing, most are not actual RPGs. Faux RPGs if anything. Turn Based Adventure Games for a more apt description, with Diablo, Brave Fence Musashi and Star Ocean as Action Adventure games.
Again, all great games without a doubt.

If there's one thing Epic has done is to kick Steam into improving its own platform more. So many articles in the last few months about things Valve is doing to improve Steam. Opinion on whether Epic is good or bad aside, it's obviously something Steam is aware of and is combating by implementing things they could have done years ago.
That a damn lie. Steam helped PC gaming become what it is today. Epic Games is not saving PC gaming but just another competitor.
Epic Games who started PC gaming war because they buying out games and making it exclusive to their launcher. A launcher that is slacking many modern features that other competitor already have. Plus they stealing steam player data. Epic Games should start making games again.
Steam need to start lowering the percentage of how much they take from the developers because 30% is too much. It might not affect Steam right now but they need start thinking for the future. Also steam just start making games again too.
Steam needs to compete. They need to get out their high castle and do something. I don't understand why people arent mad at their lack of action
Monopolies are never good. Hopefully Epic can improve to rival steam. Outside of all the hacking/chinese theories out there.
Epic is bringing AAA publishers back to publishing to dedicated store fronts on pc or keeping them from leaving and creating their own Store front Launchers. I know people dont want to believe it but every large publisher was slowly leaving Steam.
