- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 3 days ago:
Could be an age thing. 20 years ago on the 360, achievements I cared about. By the middle of the PS4 generation, I stopped caring about PS trophies. On Steam, never cared about Steam achievements. 20 years ago being a completionist was an interest of mine which included achievements. Today, I’m fine not finishing games

- Comment on Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store 4 days ago:
More incentive for people to go to PC and chances for Linux gaming to grow. We’ll get a Linux GOG client someday and drag EGS kicking and screaming to Linux too. Steam lets devs generate keys for free for deva to sell on other stores with no Valve cut. Bundle sites like Fanatical, Humble Bundle, Digiphile
Closed hardware platforms with closed software distribution loops are destined for enshittification

- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 1 week ago:
Microsoft Xbox hardware wasn’t going to be competitive in sales with Sony or Nintendo. Maybe now they can be competitive with ASUS ROG and Lenovo Legion and Dell Alienware
- Comment on Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC 1 week ago:
That’s not going to get me to buy a PS6. PS5 is at least my only (UHD) Blu-ray player that I rarely ever play games on. Not buying another PlayStation in the future for not even averaging 1 exclusive game a year that I’d want to play

- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 2 weeks ago:
Xbox as a 3rd party publisher can succeed. As a console vendor, it’s too late to stop the multiplatform strategy this gen. They’re not Nintendo. At least on the Wii U, Nintendo was still releasing great games and the 3DS sold like 80 million units and Nintendo were also releasing great games there and all those studios would converge on the Switch. They can’t be serious launching a console without a great launch year lineup of exclusives marketed well to convince people that they won’t cut tail and run if a new console doesn’t take off.
The advice for the new Xbox CEO that I believe in is to rip the bandage off and embrace 3rd party publishing. Timings for a new console seem awful. Fable is supposed to release this year. Forza Horizon Japan this year. Obsidian has already released their two big games last year. Perfect Dark cancelled. Forza Motorsport studio seemingly on life support rather than working on a new entry. New Gears of War should release soon. Elder Scrolls VII I’m not betting on that before the 2030s. Also these unreleased announced games are marketed as multiplatform already. Is it going to be another attempt at a Halo as the launch title after a string of crowd goes mild Halo releases

- Comment on Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft 2 weeks ago:
After Mattrick, they probably shouldn’t have promoted internally from the executive class that went along with the pivot of internal studios to kinect and home theater media center. They needed leadership that knew how to deliver quality games on time. Saw Sony hit its stride mid-PS3 era with the advent of the AAA narrative action adventure game and could never adjust to that. I know American company, but maybe they should have looked to Sega, Capcom, Koei Tecmo to lead Xbox game studios and someone else to lead hardware and services. Xbox was at its best when it was paying for timed exclusives in the 360 era from third parties and funding 2nd party exclusives. Their internal studio production has been weak for like 20 years. Halo, Gears, Forza Motorsport, Fable has fallen to all of them in the doldrums and Forza Horizon being their only high tier Xbox associated IP now

- Comment on Elder Scrolls 6 Is Powered By New Version Of Creation Engine 3 weeks ago:
I’m sure they’re well aware that the biggest knock on Starfield are its forgettable plot and universe and too much loading screens. It’ll be less of a problem in an Elder Scrolls game as it’s building on a great lore foundation and it’s a region rather than a bunch of planets. I’m sure in the 7+ years later I expect to actually play the game, loading screens won’t be much of a problem. Improved graphics will be a given. It won’t set the world on fire but it’ll look firmly like it belongs in the PS5 generation which is good enough for me
- Comment on BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games (Demon's Souls/Shadow of the Colossus remakes) 3 weeks ago:
Crazy. They could have at least put them on a new remake project. I don’t understand closing studios that are provenly productive. Replace leadership. Replace directors/leads if they’re not proving to lead well or their ideas aren’t panning out commercially but don’t shutter the whole studio. Like 343 Halo games aren’t critical success but they deliver products. Obsidian games aren’t selling great currently but they ship products on the regular. Bluepoint could be making smaller games like Twisted Metal. More remakes. Jak and Daxter remakes or sequels. Square Enix get’s a lot of flak like every mega publisher but I think they’re great for making a bunch of smaller AA games along with big games like Final Fantasy
- Comment on Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems. 3 weeks ago:
I agree. It’s the same to me with how people get mad at yearly phone releases. There are people upgrading every year. It could be after 3 years 5 years. It’s best that they have the best that is possible that day then buying 3 year old hardware because some people think release cycles should mirror their upgrade cycles
Plus hardware progression pushes the low end higher which is a great thing. The Steam Deck 4 years ago was an awesome thing. It was cheap for the time. Sub $400 for access to nearly the whole PC library. A successor would make more higher end games that have released since more accessible especially if pricing didn’t become so wonky since. Plus older games could then be played at 4-10w TDP settings meaning longer battery life on older games
Same with the Steam Machine. Could have been a great cheap Valve supported mini-PC gaming console that was multiple times stronger than a Steam Deck. It’s was something that can push forward open platforms (Linux) in multiple ways. It would have in the box a gamepad. It would be a play for the living room. Maybe services like Crunchyroll and Netflix would have interest in releasing apps onto Steam or Flathub for it. It could grow to be a strong competitor to Android TV and fully proprietary walled gardens like Apple TV and Roku. Any delay delays the ecosystem developing
Delaying the PS6 is unlikely to mean an upgrade in its capabilities. It’s waiting for manufacturing prices to drop, not for engineering to complete. Upgrades require further funding for engineering redesigns. Really a PS6 delay is only good for the continued viability of the Switch 2 and Steam Deck for new releases
Poor optimization is also a result of the democratization of video game development. You don’t need to be a wiz at assembly, C, and C++ anymore. You don’t need to be a wiz at shader programming, GPGPU programming. You don’t have to learn the nuances of the underlying hardwares architecture. Not it’s GPU, CPU, memory design, etc. Most devs aren’t engine developers and I’m most games people enjoy today would not be made today if it wasn’t for the streamlined development that video game engines like Unreal, Godot, Unity, Creation, Source, etc enable. Even with source available, only a limited number of developers would modify Unreal Engine for optimizations (I wouldn’t do that for Epic. It’s not a free engine. That’s their job). Most won’t modify Godot or O3DE
