Yes exactly. A large number of their older titles exist on other platforms like the Switch and of course, the PC, where gamepass lets people play those titles for a very affordable price.

All the more reason then to make games like Starfield and Halo infinite the absolute best games they could be

Indigenous population scared about their wellbeing? Wellbeing from what? What possible threat has the indigenous population faced recently that you need to be all up in arms about it?

This is a report on Gov.uk

In 2022/23, white individuals accounted for 78% of arrests, 8% were of black individuals, 8% were of Asian individuals, 4% were of mixed ethnicity individuals and 2% were of other ethnicity individuals

In 2022, 77% of all males prosecuted for indictable offences were from the white ethnic group, compared to 86% of all females prosecuted

Since 2018, white defendants have had a consistently lower average custodial sentence length (ASCL) than all other ethnic groups combined for indictable offences.

Black prisoners served the greatest proportion of their original sentence in custody.

What is your point? What are you up in arms about exactly?

Ok, let's compare, shall we?

Millions of people out protesting over the murder of thousands of children in Gaza, and protesting the UK's complicity in those crimes by directly sending weapons to Israel. No crimes committed, no riots, no disorder. There were a couple who held up flags and inflammatory symbols or shouted crude slogans and they went peacefully when they were arrested.

Thousands of children murdered, peaceful protest.

In contrast, a far-right counter protest against the Palestine march in London ends with the thugs clashing with police, being violent and causing damage https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-far-right-football-hooligans-blamed-violence-pro-palestinian-march-london/

Recently, 3 girls brutally and abhorrently murdered in Southport, but EDL thugs who honestly couldn't care less about the victims and just wanted a scrap, took to the streets and torched police vehicles, injured many offers. The perpetrator ended up being a Christian, and yet the EDL mob went and targeted a mosque.

3 children murdered, outright anarchy.

EDL have proven that they're just in it for the fight. They just want blood and they don't care what the trigger is. Absolutely pathetic. They piss about in school, get bugger all in the way of grades and end up at the building site, blaming immigrants for their troubles. Spineless knobgobblers, the lot of them.

Halo Infinite - failed
Starfield - failed
Forza Motorsport - terrible launch
Redfall - failed

Out of curiosity, I googled exclusives for Xbox series exclusives. They've got things like Forza Horizon 5, sunset overdrive and Ori. Like, sure, but you can't say proudly that your console is being held aloft by 4+ year old titles when the competition is releasing banger after banger!

They just missed the mark. You can spend billions on R&D and marketing for a new console, billions on buying up game studios to make new games, but if your games suck on launch, people won't play on your console.

What XBox has done this generation is borderline suicide.

The right answer in this case

Trump promised he won't open the Epstein files if he gets re-elected. Suddenly Musk started throwing money at him and breaking any rule to censor the opposition party and smear them.

This has little to do with the lying orange Turd. Musk cares about his own pedo past and is desperate to not have that info leak out.

Fair point, makes sense. Thanks!

Why are they still saying "suspected" shooter?

How much evidence does one need before they can definitely say something?

Can you imagine your own mind having unskippable ads?

Can you imagine buying products you don't want because you're suddenly compelled to do so and you have no idea why.

Neuralink is going to be hell, purely because the person in charge of it is Elon Musk.

I mean, it does look like a sensible option. BRICS countries are growing in number and their combined wealth is nothing to sneeze at.

Turkey was never really allowed to be a part of EU and therefore will join the cool new club while the rest of Europe grows in far right rhetoric, and generally anti islamic sentiment.

So what am I remembering then? Was that fallout76?

They had a new game coming up and said they'll be using their engine and there was a huge backlash, and they then responded that they'll be working on a new one.

I could've sworn my worst enemy's right arm that that's how it happened... Internet's slow right now on the train but I'm keen to do some sleuthing on this now

They need a Cyberpunk 2077/ No man's sky level overhaul and that simply won't happen.

In Cyberpunk's case, CDPR within months of the terrible launch, had a clear vision of what they want to fix and how they want their game to feel in 2.0. They gave us a roadmap and plenty of updates and they delivered on what they promised with an incredible 2.0 release and DLC, that honestly propelled the game into my top 10 of all time.

No man's sky basically released a new game in the decrepit shell of their initial release. Multiple decent DLC's later and it's one of the best success stories in gaming history.

With their Elden Ring title on the horizon, there's no way Bethesda is going to devote so many resources to fix a broken game. They also promised that Starfield will run in a new engine following backlash when they said it'll run on the same one. There's very little confidence now in Bethesda that their next game won't be a buggy mess. Fallout 4 sucked until mods fixed the game. Starfield sucks to this day and their next title probably already has significant development done to it that they likely can't scrap lol.

If they honestly thought this patch would bring people back, then they're as deluded as the diablo 4 devs are
