I remain forever pissed that the best way to play BOTW or TOTK is through emulation, since they’re being held back to consoles that can’t play them consistently at 30fps in 720p.
If Nintendo would give me a legal way to play these, I would happily buy them again on PC! I want to enjoy those brilliant games the way the deserve to be enjoyed…
Wow that Twitter thread was toxic - people pretending like “greedy” Xbox is one acquisition away from world domination, when all the facts have pointed at Sony making game-level deals to continue dominating Xbox across so many new titles.
Of course Microsoft has considered acquiring other studios - that’s what happens in the business world: you consider making purchases of other companies/competition to see if they make business sense to do so. Even Sony has acquired Bungie recently to expand their portfolio of live service games, of which they showed off like 10 at their recent games showcase a month or so ago.
That’s what gets me the most - Sony continues on pretending to care about the consumers, when all they actually care about is not having the chance to monopolize the games market themselves
Meanwhile, MS/Xbox is at least showing the care about giving consumers more choices as to where to play there games, while Sony locks down everything they can get their hands on via console exclusivity.
See also Xbox day 1 PC/Console releases vs PS 1-year console exclusivity before sometimes making a PC port. Drives me nuts!
This console would literally be doing what the Steam Deck already does - and likely charging you again for games you’ve already played. Why are you happy about their complete stagnation?
Looking forward to playing 10 year old looking games from a team (Nintendo) that will no doubt be selling them for $70? There’s so many better ways to spend your time/money…
