XSX vs PS5

[Nintex]

It's probably going to be woke trash that sucks dick. 

Who wants to bet $50 this fucking sucks? 

I will give them credit; they are not shy about allowing gameplay footage.



My fear is it runs like crap on the Xbox. Thankfully I have gamepass so it's not a big deal if I hate it.

Behaving like that in public for any other business would get your arse fired or at least disciplined in a serious way. Video games industry really is just full of morons.

Hahaha, that'll show Musk!


I can't believe people air out this shit in public. Could you possibly look any more pathetic?

[Nintex]

It's just amateur hour all over this stupid industry. 

Do these organisations not have corporate comms people, social media policies, standards of behaviour? 

These people trash their employers' reputations on social media, at conferences, in interviews.

If I was the corporate comms director for these companies, they'd be disciplined at best and blacklisted at worst.

I'm all for making Musk angry. 

That said, it's not a good look to respond specifically like this. I'd say something like "hate speech is unwelcome" or "we embrace representation and letting people play the game how they want." There's a faction of game development that has decided being woke needs to be built into the workplace. For being in my mid-fifties, I'm pretty fucking woke, but feel like telling customers that they're wrong-thinking, deplorable, that's not a business related decision. Maybe I'm too old to get it.

The game director there, I probably have similar politics to him, but you'd never hear it from me in anything work-related, or draging my co-workers along for the ride.

[Potato]

Absolutely. It's just mind boggling. Some poor bastard is there trying to establish a positive public narrative for the company and its game and this dimwit is there just blowing it all up with his personal politics. 

It's not even about the politics either, it's about the fact that this clown is taking it upon himself to exclude a whole bunch of potential customers by hijacking the marketing effort for his own personal views.

Co-founder of Obsidian.

I wonder if this is also related to the "Video games are art" nonsense, because art is often used for activism.

[Potato]

WTF is that?

[booomer]

WTF is that?

Me after installing on Gamepass and deleting it an hour later.

$799

It lasted at least 12 Concords. 

Cancel sequels to popular games and fire the experienced developers  
Pour all the money in a bunch of shitty GAAS games developed by interns with 10 year development cycles and make it gay  
Watch how they flop one by one (SUICIDE SQUAD 2.99 on steam)  
Scrape together some Remakes and Remasters to try and make it to the next fiscal year

If Ubislop goes down, not much of value will be lost.

[Nintex]

They might get bought.

Sony would be a good fit I think. Replaces their own failed GAAS attempt with The Division and Assassins Creed could use the Sony AAAA+ budget.
The Crew would be a competitor to Forza Horizon (something Sony doesn't have) and Just Dance would be easy to license with Sony Music.

Still it seems like a lot of dead weight to carry around. Might as well wait for the collapse to continue and pick up only Assassins Creed.
