    Microsoft Gaming exec reportedly said Xbox needs games like Hi-Fi Rush, but it just closed the dev that made it

    Dunno, this outrage is all armchair quarterback-like to me. Clearly it wasn't all as rosy as these articles paint it. They must have seen something that wasn't working well in those studios. And ultimately they are the ones who have the numbers. Hifi Rush taking too many years to make, and...

    Yeah well, no use dwelling in the "could have been"s

    Every big Destiny 2 DLC expansion is free to play until The Final Shape other than the one that isn't worth your money anyway

    Very interesting how these guys think they can prevent you from playing DLC you bought whenever they feel like it, and then let anyone play for free their paid DLC whenever they feel like it. A lot of ****** practices if you ask me and that's why I stopped playing this game long ago.

    The Steam Deck and ROG Ally will soon know what the competition from handheld gaming kings, Nintendo, looks like

    Nintendo is an absolutely overrated company with quirky policies an who have made a craft out of mistreating their fans and franchises. Personally I don't think lightning will strike twice for them. Switch was a lucky hit precisely because their competitors dozed off. Handheld gaming is back...

    Microsoft torches multiple Xbox studios then tells you to 'feel the burn' with the most tone-deaf controller launch of all time

    Well it's bussiness. All of it. You're looking too much into it. They won't release an In Memoriam of Those Studios Tears Edition Controller. Seriously, what's the take here? Are they going to stop releasign hardware? Software? Is this a national holiday or a wake or something? Not the...

    The most popular games from last year were over 7 years old, with Starfield being the only new franchise to break the top 10

    You didn't post the list, but there were a lot of new successful new IPs in the last 5 years, for example Elden Ring and Palworld.

    Helldivers 2' sees uproar as Sony introduces new mandatory account requirements on PC players

    Sony being unable to not shoot themselves in the foot because of their greedy nature and being jerks, also this thing is gonna cost people their jobs. I personally hope Sony fails and dies away. This kind of decision seems to be a good firm step in that direction.

    Helldivers 2 CEO apologizes for Sony PSN requirement fiasco as Steam review bombing continues: "I hope we will make it up and regain the trust

    Fascinating how Sony managed to screw the only hit they desperately wanted in the game as service space. Absolute bullshit company. Greedy and evil.

    It's a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. The estate would never have given its approval": A 'flagrant...

    And why should the readership of Windows Central care about this completely unrelated news item??? This is beyond a stretch, it's completely unrelated to the site.

    Jack Black is confirmed for the Minecraft movie in 2025, so now I definitely have to see it

    The same will happen to you when you're my age, that's the way life works.

    Microsoft's Xbox has taken over the Sony's PlayStation Store 🤯

    Honestly this is the way, MS saw beyond the curve and this is what's going to make them more money. Encroaching on a single own platform won't give you growth. Game production is expensive, Sony know this because they burn years and millions on games that sell well but are very expensive...

    Jack Black is confirmed for the Minecraft movie in 2025, so now I definitely have to see it

    Clearly I'm old because when reading "legendary actor" Jack Black wouldn't ever come to mind.

    Did the Fallout TV show just make a Fallout 4 ending canon?

    This is silly. In interactive media like videogames, if the game has several endings, they're all canon. Everything happening in the games is canon. It's as if you said that only things and characters appearing in the series are canon.

    Microsoft's latest Copilot coercion forced me through the five stages of grief over the death of the Windows 11 desktop

    Well, welcome to the present. This has been happening for years and it's perfectly fine for them to make money with their own OS and ecosystem. Your overall attitude of clutching your proverbial pearls at MS trying to do something to earn money is frankly hard to take seriously. But I...

    EA adds another game to its own anti-cheat system, which is bad news for Steam Deck owners

    The reason we can't have nice things are cheaters, not EA. PC is a platform that's getting damned and neglected by developers precisely because of cheaters and hackers. We can't really blame publishers for trying to fight that crap however they can, because an online game that has cheater...
