His point about releasing another and more powerful console is stupid. They already did that and they're still well behind. At this point, they need to get rid of the consoles and just stick to being 3rd party.
Be gentle. He has been “betrayed.”

Maybe they keep a streaming console going or something if the math works out. Otherwise, they will be a 3rd party publisher.

We are witnessing the end of the latest console war that lasted 20 years

GameStop is about to get flooded with trade ins, lol. Would be surprised if they have already caught wind and reduced the credit they’re offering.

I'm thinking about it: I have a Series S that i use for retrogaming (BC + Emulation)

If they kill Dev Mode for any reason, it will become a toaster for me

Sorry but this is total BULLSHIT!

I sold my PS5 for a Series X for THIS?!

I swear if this happens I'm going to sell the Series X and go back to PS5.

MS should literally apologise!

You know what, I'm going to wait till Indiana Jones comes out play THAT and re jump the gun.

PS5 with Silent Hill 2 remake, new tactical Kojima game and Final Fantasy 7 remake part 2 has me sold.

SEE WHAT YOU DID MS?!

SEE WHAT YOU DIIIIID TO MEEEEEE!!!!

😭
It'a called natural selection.
Deal with it.

Man, I frequently forget that such dedicated fans exist. That's pretty wild. I can't imagine legitimately being stressed, emotional, and upset about something like this. I almost wouldn't be surprised if some of those people hated on Starfield, but now that it's potentially making way to another platform it's a severe problem. I don't get it.

I will say I wasn't expecting this to be a thing, but at the same time, big major company gonna big major company. It's a business and money makes the world go round. So if they can get more money, especially if it's an easy decision, they'll do it.

Moderated wildly


This dude has clearly been crying in his car - grown ass man crying over Xbox. The shills are distraught.


This is what some of these fans look like. Guy looks 45 years old and actually making videos like he is going to cry about this news.

The fact that adults are acting like this is Sonic Vs Mario in a playground when they are north of 35 years old is fucking insane to me.

No need to be a dedicated fan to be annoyed as fuck if they pull the plug on the entire thing and all my digital purchases are gone with the wind.
I feel like that's an entirely different issue, but yeah, that'd be a horrible mess. Is that something that's been discussed? Did I happen to miss something alluding to that?

There has been no indication that they are pulling their digital store. They are just releasing their first party games on Playstation and Switch.

Humans can connect very emotionally with the things they enjoy and become quite invested indeed, usually with age comes self awareness and we grow out of these sometimes irrational behaviours. I think some people just don't grow in that regard and are forever stuck in that child-like emotional trigger stage, completely void of how embarrassing and frankly odd their behaviour is.

It's been discussed in a way because MS has already said in court that if they don't reach their numbers by 2027 they'll potentially exit the market. So at that point how much longer will your games work for? Now you see them making big changes like this so that clearly means things aren't going as planned. I would be worried as well and this is why console sales matter and why how well your console of choice is doing matters.

This is so wild. I knew that there would be meltdowns, but 45+ year old dude crying in his car? Bruh.
People ITT thinking it’s only 14 year olds but this guy greyer than Gandalf
Right. That guy is a look at the shills who find posts and actually argue with 14 year olds on twitter, etc. Damn.

My oldest/best friend from high school is 46 and a hardcore Xbox fan like that guy. If Xbox were to go full third party and gradually exit hardware, he’d sound almost exactly like that video. Guaranteed. His entire gaming identity is wrapped up in Xbox.

In a way, but I think people may be getting ahead of themselves, but I can also understand the kneejerk reaction. I would assume the best action right now is to just wait for more details and information. I'm already seeing so many rumor mills getting out of control, and until there's some confirmation, I think it's smart to be aware, but also cautious.

Honestly, the entire discourse on the subject is so ill I don't know what to believe anymore. And yes, there's been stuff on the internet of Microsoft stopping with the Xbox brand completely. The current shitstorm is so immense I wouldn't be surprised on an official statement this week.
 
Makes sense to ditch console and peddle gamepass on pc and PlayStation etc.

Will be sad to see the Xbox go as I love the controller but then cutting it down to one console will be a good money saver
 
GAF will like the games that have been highly-rated like Hi-Fi Rush and Pentiment. Starfield and Redfall not so much. Stop being delusional. Look at STEAM reviews. This Xbox conspiracy stops now. Move on.
Wait a minute, you throwing in Starfield in the same category as Redfall? You've literally lost all credibility with that comment. Steam reviews is the new metric on determining quality? Mate you really need to start using your own brain and lay off the drugs 🤣

Yeaaaah, considering how bad the fires are getting and how bad they're quickly spreading it absolutely should be addressed sooner than later. Regardless if they're false rumors or otherwise.

I agree I think the best thing to do is just wait for more info. If it was me personally though? I would be selling my xbox after the announcement of going 3rd party.

Another Xbox 180 scenario.

'We've listened and we understand you' moment in time.
I mean the alleged rumours do seem possible, but how many times has gaf and many other communities, been caught jumping to conclusions based on accusations without supporting evidence. Your willingness to immediately make the "MS made a 180" claim, before the dust has settled, shows how we are more interested in letting confirmation bias satisfy our need to be right, rather than look for objective truth.

This isn't an attack on you or anything, as we are all guilty of it. I was just running some thought experiments.
