I appreciate this conversation coming from the developers point of view. Especially, the concerns about the legality conversation. The definitions will be scrutinized by everyone involved.

I don’t think one ever came out. Microsoft closed their studio to make them.

How many of the 20 demos won’t be released? I’m sitting at a solid 15, maybe 18.

If the reviews are good, I’ll spend the $20 on game pass for a month.

But only if the reviews are very good.

Or some other game caught my attention.

Or I’m replaying Outer Worlds 1

Or I’m still playing Monster Hunter.

Or… I think I’ll just pass on it.

This feels like an executive saying “I want to have an Xbox handheld”. Then saying to make it profitable without market research.

I feel like the Xbox brand is not long for this world.

“Bungie is making a new game based on Marathon”

Great, I’m in.

“It’s a multi-player extraction shooter”

Nope, I’m out. This smells like a “Prey” situation.

That’s what we call gambling.

Most companies call it R&D.

I get the feeling the Switch 2 is gonna be the Wii U with stories like this.

I hope this lives to see 1.0. That assuming it doesn’t get killed by legal fees.

HYPE

Yeah, I was one of the backers. I got it about the same week the company went under.

I just want a watch that can read text messages and has a long battery life. The Pebble and Pebble 2 fit that bill for me.

Until the buttons fell of the Pebble 2.

A 2 year streak on Duolingo did nothing for my ability to communicate with a new language in a new country.

Very fast uninstall after that trip.

A $50 game on mobile phones.

Interesting.

Yeah, it’s a Legend of Zelda like game. Robs A Bank is more of a run and gun Rogue-like.

Turnip Boys robs a Bank.

Go play it.

Is the wifi chip upgraded?
