Hmm, I wish organizations had public postmortems on failed projects. I’d like to know the story there.
- Comment on More Halo: Combat Evolved Remake Details Emerge, Including Who Is Making It 1 week ago:
This is my first hearing of this. With the latest Xbox news, I doubt I will consider the pruchase.
- Comment on Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced 1 week ago:
These Full Screen ads are the reason I do not own a Xbox Series X and I’m not upgrading to Windows 11.
I’m turning on my console to do use it for streaming or gaming. Anything that gets in the way of going to be vilified.

(laughs in Steam Deck)
- Comment on Early access periods should ideally be around six months, research suggests - AUTOMATON WEST 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that checks out. There’s a number of early access release games that release to little fanfare or changes. If you’re going early access, use it as a prolonged testing period. Then release the full game.
GameDiscoverCo’s Simon Carless analyzed over 1,500 games released between 2015 and 2023, […] His results showed that the longer a game stayed in early access, the weaker its full-release sales tended to be.
Probably because most gamers at this point see EA release as just a release. It kinda begs the question of when it’s useful.
- Comment on I asked 20 game developers about Stop Killing Games. [Alanah Pearce] 5 weeks ago:
I appreciate this conversation coming from the developers point of view. Especially, the concerns about the legality conversation. The definitions will be scrutinized by everyone involved.
- Comment on Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises 2 months ago:
Executives are getting kickbacks? I’ve gotta do some research here.
- Comment on EA CEO Says No $80 Games for Now: 'We're Not Looking to Make Any Changes at This Stage' 2 months ago:
I don’t think one ever came out. Microsoft closed their studio to make them.
- Comment on Xbox returns to gamescom next month with over 20 playable demos, including Hollow Knight: Silksong 2 months ago:
How many of the 20 demos won’t be released? I’m sitting at a solid 5, maybe 7.
- Comment on PSA on privuhcy 2 months ago:
IMO, any developer who uses URL parameters for required functionality is short sighted. They should use the path as required parameters.
- Comment on Microsoft concedes that 'The Outer Worlds 2' retail price was too high — Xbox says it "will keep our full priced holiday releases at $69.99," with refunds incoming 2 months ago:
If the reviews are good, I’ll spend the $20 on game pass for a month.
But only if the reviews are very good.
Or some other game caught my attention.
Or I’m replaying Outer Worlds 1
Or I’m still playing Monster Hunter.
Or… I think I’ll just pass on it.
- Comment on Reddit bought a giant ad in Paris, urging young french people to create an account 2 months ago:
This is the only advertising that listen too. I wish online reviews were 10% as useful.
- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050 2 months ago:
This feels like an executive saying “I want to have an Xbox handheld”. Then saying to make it profitable without market research.
I feel like the Xbox brand is not long for this world.

“Bungie is making a new game based on Marathon”
Great, I’m in.
“It’s a multi-player extraction shooter”
Nope, I’m out. This smells like a “Prey” situation.
- Comment on Just months after reportedly cancelling two live service games in development, Sony announces a new PlayStation studio with a live service game in development 5 months ago:
That’s what we call gambling.
Most companies call it R&D.
- Comment on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Won't Include the DLC 5 months ago:
I get the feeling the Switch 2 is gonna be the Wii U with stories like this.
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 6 months ago:
“Influence” numbers of Andrew Tate & Musk says otherwise. I’m also assuming a large following of those two are unhappy single men.
- Comment on Palworld Update 0.5.0 Adds Crossplay Across All Platforms, Blueprint Upgrading, Photo Mode and More 6 months ago:
I hope this lives to see 1.0. That assuming it doesn’t get killed by legal fees.
- Comment on Anon is deeply disturbed 6 months ago:
Yeah, this is how businesses work. They provide what you are looking for at that moment. But to get you to come back, they “provide” other items and services for free to get that future business. This is a way businesses can be “long term” greedy. They’ll still make a profit because those additional costs are in the price of your original purchase.
However, you aren’t guaranteed that future business. So, businesses have moved to “short term” greedy by charging for everything else while keeping the original purchase price “competitive” or just as pricey.
