Up and down the roller coaster we go with ABK. It's amazing to watch All the content creators change thier stance week to week.
-
They need to now get Certain Affinity, Asobo, Avalanche, IOI and maybe a few up and coming studios like That's no Moon and the ex Bioware guys new studio, before going any further with this ABK stuff, otherwise they will be bought by someone else.
-
Sorry to hear about your losses Rand, hope you and your family are doing ok 🙏
-

-
Sorry to hear about Shakespeare, hope you're doing okay.

Sorry for your loss bro 😢 I just put my dog down a month ago she was full of cancer. Had her for 13 years.
-
Sorry about your buddy, I hope you’re doing as ok as you can.

Keep in mind, the reason RedFall has 60fps on the back of the box is because the cases are made months in advance. I work with a guy who worked at a print shop that MS used and the typically start making these things 6 months in advanced and at that point 60fps mode was not delayed. They can't just stop the print and fix it, they have contracts they need to fill by certain dates and MS can't push these other projects out, and having to rescheduling the print shop que isn't possible that short in advanced.

The whole discourse on this ABK deal has been done a disservice with the one-sided dialogue. It would have helped to get a genuinely good faith attempt to understand the CMA concerns but instead it’s - CMA is corrupt. FTC is corrupt. FTC is manipulating CMA. They don’t know what they are talking about. Etc etc. The discourse has been disappointing and I’m hoping we can move on quickly

I usually buy all games when there is a good sale, GamePass or not. Heck, I “upgrade” my physical copies to digital when the price is good enough.
-
I didn't buy Hi Fi Rush. I finished it and loved it. I won't buy Redfall. I won't buy Starfield. I didn't buy Halo Infinite, Gears 5, Deathloop, Psychonauts 2. I won't buy Hellblade 2. I have Gamepass. That's the entire point of the service. What does MS expect? Without Gamepass these would all be purchases.
-
Tbf, it's nice watching this and hearing about the activision deal to know where BO6 is on game pass day 1 and that this actually went through. Awesome!
-
I had an uncle's funeral last week, but thats nothing compared to when I lost my 2 cats within 3 weeks of each other, one after 21 years. Its a real gut punch and you have my sympathy and thoughts.

So sorry to hear about the doggo and grandad Rand, that is awful! Chin up dude, we are all here for you buddy!
