Comment on As it lays off developers and closes studios, Xbox gets into the movie business

Wow, so, Nintendo is winning the console war by suicide? Sony jumped off the console cliff out of nowhere, and now Xbox is eating a rat poison cake for fun.

Still standing : the indie scene, the PC gaming master race, the retrogaming scene, Nintendon’t.

I hope Valve won’t die by autoerotic asphyxia. I don’t like them THAT MUCH (like, Newel is building cunt yachts instead of funding cool studios for cool new games), but they’re still on the good side of history.

We’ll still have GOG, though.

PC gaming might be standing but it's costing an arm and a leg to do so.

  You’re right, these past few years have been awful to acquire a PC

As someone who has been around since the third console generation (NES, SMS), honestly I feel like we are living in one of the worst eras in gaming history, second only to the crash of '83 (but I wasn’t there for that so I can’t confirm).

It really sucks that Nintendo is winning the console wars. Between suing their fans for making their games better, and them being seemingly unable to release a console that can keep up with modern performance standards.

I mean I’m not in this fight —my last console was the 360—and I’ve been PC exclusive since, but still, we need healthy competition or things are only going to get worse for gamers.

  The Switch 2 is a handheld. I don’t get why people expect it to be on par with home platforms, it’s competition is the Steam Deck.

    Yes that’s the problem! Nintendo only has a handheld option available at the moment; where’s their home console?
    
    Also, why did they downgrade their handhelds by replacing the 3D display with a boring 2D panel? That was the 3DS’ best feature! No one else does glasses-free 3D; why get rid of your best gimmick?

GOG tried to kill itself with the Nazi symbols sent in emails, that they never really apologized for. They are lucky people have short memories.

I just picked up a refurbished workstation to stream my main pc to the living room via Steam. Works like a charm 😎
