Not surprised at all. What WILL surprise me is if M$ actually releases another XBOX console. Because as far as I’m concerned right now, regardless of what they say, they are not.

Probably to offset any tariff costs in the USA.

Uh…wow. The balls.

Microsoft will be a publisher only. The problem with XBOX circa 2010 onward is they followed every trend and abandoned it.

Still rocking Diddy Kong Racing. One day I’ll switch to Mario Kart, but they have to make one at least as good as DKR.

Perfect explanation.

“Console gaming is coming to an end”

Yeah, if your XBOX.

I feel her pain. Seamus Blackly and Jay Allard probably feel the same.

Yeah, most people I know don’t have jobs! We just run extension cords between our igloos to power our video game machines. If it weren’t for them we could totally be like the States. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

“Online only” and I automatically lose interest.

I don’t see it that way at all. Xbox took their foot off the gas when Kinect came out and has been dying from 1000 cuts. What was working for Xbox - they stopped doing. This isn’t the future, this is them throwing anything they can at the wall and see what sticks.

XBOX can’t be buried soon enough. It’s been dead in the casket for over a decade and it’s time to start throwing dirt on it.

I love the original and the 360. The people that had the passion and vision for what XBOX was and needed to be are long gone and this is what we’re left with. A bunch of suits making decisions who probably don’t even know how to play pong.

Let me know when Diddy Kong Racing’s done. GOAT.

Amazing. So cool to see.

It’s all fake and manipulated there anyway.

Oh no…not another online only multiplayer game. /s

Put the entire game on the disk/ 2 disks and I will buy.

Shit. Wait until they see Canadians doing it too.

As DRM has taught us - there’s always a way around. Make it harder? Well, that just makes it more of a challenge. It will hacked, and bypassed. All this does is make Nintendo look like a bunch of assholes.

With the price of software it will be interesting to see how it goes. I think they jumped the gun a bit hard on that one and will have to backpedal.
