Higher fee but significantly many more multiples of customers on steam who see and buy the game.

Just like I could sell on Etsy for a massive margin or I could sell it to Walmart at a smaller margin but make 100x the sales.

You’re paying for the customer base

I’ll never buy another game on Microsoft’s store ever again. And this is AFTER all that GFWL bs. Bought Forza 7 and it refuses to install. It did once before but now it says it’s done immediately and is nowhere to be found. I’ve tried everything short of a reinstal, which I will not do

Yeah, the dumbest and worst people will be dying to get this. I don’t see a problem

That’s great to hear. I like it and would like to continue

Or, what the fuck do they think they’re protecting against?

So…I don’t use chrome anymore, but I use Vivaldi. Guess this’ll fuck that up too or will they remove it?

Edit: looks like they’re concerned about it but also are worried stripping it out will f up theye browser being accepted

That’s what happened to Destiny 2 from battle.net to steam, expansions and all.

But different sitch I guess, Activision was selling the IP

Alternative headline: remote work adds billions into workers’ pockets and an immeasurable amount of happiness

Once I breathe out the good parts as CO2, best of luck

I stopped buying from there once I got a steam deck. If they had a native client I’d go right back to the majority of my purchases from there

Yes I’ve done heroic or bottles or whatever. Not worth it

That’s a terrible analogy. Renting implies it can be taken away even after you use it.

Even that perk is going away, no? Starfield makes you get the more expensive preorder to have it “early”

The standard preorder doesn’t get shit from what I’ve seen

Same! And the gun and armor you get that is outclassed after the first quest

If you buy at shops like Green Man Gaming you can save $12 or so at launch.

Drawback is no refund if it’s shit

It’s a decent game but once I beat it I’ll likely never play it again

And it’s so ok that I have a hard time getting back to it after breaking for a few weeks

Just played it recently. I still think it’s a solid and underrated platformer that didn’t have much 3D platformers to learn from

I don’t pre-order really but I do get tempted with 18% off pre-order deals at various PC shops online

I hope there’s a dollar deal in there so I can demo the game

So far there’s nothing that says this is a loss for anyone other than Sony not able to do exclusive COD things or keep COD off Game pass

Yeah he’s a real piece of shit. That alone is a good reason

Eh, depending on where you’re at, not so much is lost

Or they can be like me, just get a PC and if you really need a console, a cheap Xbox.

PC gaming is a plus and game pass is a plus. Sony will eventually give me their games. I’ve bought multiples of every Sony system in the US since the PS1 through the 4. But I’m done with them

My other stance is that Activision is so shitty to its workers and customers, let’s give someone else a try

I’m all for this merger. Maybe Microsoft can use it as leverage against Sony to avoid needless exclusivity

Knowing it would be bad for fans and abandoned never stopped MS from trying before

I’m surprised Microsoft hasn’t forced some Teams/SharePoint mandate on them

Play action football on NES was our game. It was the only 4 player football game around until Madden

This needs to be a standard with them all, period
