SEGA would be an interesting announcement. They were always a company that was ahead of the curve with tech, but never gave developers enough support to actually make games for their cutting edge systems. I wonder if they'd start to work on the console itself again for MS.

Why the hell didn't I follow my dreams when I was a teen and form a shitty game development company so that huge ass conglomerates could buy me out for truckloads of cash? I made some bad life choices along the way!

Edit: I decided to see what my favourite sellout, Notch, was up to, only to find out he deleted his Twatter account for the dumbest possible reason! Still, he can cry himself to sleep on his matters made of crisp Benjamins.

Fucking Obama. I was going to get a ps5. Is it possible to build a non-noisy pc that runs games okay’ish at 4K for less than 500 freedom bucks for steam? Steam link is kinda meh or is it?

I look at stuff like this and to me it's all about (increasing) the value of Gamepass from a MS point of view.

The irony here is that the one IP that I actually still gave the slightest fuck about at Bethesda fucked up so bad with Fallout 76 that I have zero incentive to get an Xboner. Had FO76 never existed, they probably would have gotten my money to buy a new console for FO5. And I know I am far from alone in that line of thinking.

Bethesda has it in their heads that every game needs to be a shitty MMO lite online grind fest lately. Until there is a clear indication they are finally making a new fucking engine and developing a pure standalone Elder Scrolls, I am done with that franchise entirely.

Yup. And honestly I think its brilliant. They have even someone like me, who wouldn't even look at the game pass raising one eyebrow.

Dude. I'm serious. I know a guy that would probably commit suicide if that happened. I can start off talking about the weather, and he somehow gets on a rant about Microsoft vs Sony consoles. I'm like look man. I play PC games.

Im not sure what to think about this. I mean, this could turn it around for Bethesda? When was the last time we saw a good game from Bethesda? Skyrim and Fallout 4? I guess ESO is a nice cash cow for them, but just does not scratch my mmo needs (boring).

To half you dinks bitching about FO76, it is a much better game than release. The FO76 hate videos don’t even show up anymore from the big channels because the outrage of the month Youtube crew has moved on to other clickbait to farm those sweet ad dollars

The people raging about FO76 clearly haven't played it recently. It's actually pretty good now.
