  Hope this isn’t some kind of token gesture so MS can say “See, we don’t restrict our games to only Xbox and PC, unlike Sony and Nintendo. Please accept our proposal to buy (next game company they buy for several billion dollars).”

    To be fair, it IS more than Sony or Nintendo are doing.

      Because their market share is so bad that they can’t make their money back on their own hardware.

      Not entirely. Sony has been releasing games to PC.

    It’s more likely to try and capture more hype and eventual sales, TOW2 doesn’t exactly have lot of hype behind it right now.

    I don’t think it’s a token gesture. Microsoft is a software company; they want to sell software, not hardware. They don’t really care about xbox other than as a means to sell more software and gamepass subscriptions. Selling their games on as many platforms as possible is a logical move for them.

    It’s a gesture that acknowledges that they’ll never be a market leader following the old model ever again. Those days are over.

    Which companies are even left to buy?

    • slazer2au@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Ubisoft, but I don’t see that being purchased by MS.
      Embracer Group, or whatever they are called now.

  The first one wasn’t even good.

    It was good, not great.

      I was more engaged by this than the Witcher 3. I’m not saying it’s better, I’m just saying it was engaging.

      I wouldn’t even say it was good.

      It was aggressively mid.

      I own it, I’ve played it through. I don’t think I’ll ever pick it up ever again. I’ll get this sequel when it’s under $10.

    It reviewed well, and I personally loved it.

      Same here, huge fan and think proper funding will lead to a great sequel.

    I really wanted to like it, but just couldn’t get into it. It was completely forgettable for me, and I like nearly every game that has a sci-fi setting. My bar is very low for that genre, but this one was not engaging at all for me.

    I liked it despite its clear flaws

    Fanboying consoles and platform exclusives are old and lame. Get with the times, grampa.
