    Hard to not feel bad about this news. Vicarious Visions was doing great work. Seems like a waste for them to become a full-time support studio.

    I'm sad about Vicarious Visions. Studio made some bangers.

    OK. Thank you, Twitter. But can you also automatically block anyone who replies to me with something they think is clever + "🤔"?

    How did we end up with so many publishers that view letting creative teams make good video games as a necessary evil instead of the key to their future?

    The government should issue shirts like these for men, but they just list the statistics for domestic violence.

    Yeah. The company has a cash flow of around 1 Bethesda acquisition per week. That's why you have to assume that any move like this has a specific desired result (like moving people to Game Pass) behind it.

    The best value would also mean the best place to play a handful of casual games with your friends. I cannot recommend the Xbox Series S to a family for Roblox. They should just get an iPad instead. It's a bonehead move.

    And I usually want to avoid situations where we are all circlejerking about a problem that doesn't directly affect us. I have Game Pass Ultimate, I bet many of you do, too. But I think the story is Microsoft breaking the illusion that it's this bastion of value.

    It's important that it *feels* like manipulation. Businesses are always trying to manipulate us into spending money, but that can backfire when the motivation is naked and obvious like it is here.

    I thought it was Monday. What a treat, but also I should probably see a doctor.

    I appreciate that this works and is a good deal. But getting people to argue that you should "just give Microsoft $181 today" is the point.

    PS5 DE with a year of Fortnite: $400 Xbox Series S with a year of Fortnite: $420 I could not recommend the S to people who want to primarily play online multiplayer games with friends. Just a real spectacular self-own here

    This is the long way of saying "we have a product for people who don't want to pay more for Xbox Live Gold, it's called Game Pass Ultimate"

    Fortnite on Microsoft Windows: free to play Fortnite on Nintendo Switch: free to play Fortnite on Playstation: free to play Fortnite on Xbox: $120/year

    Every few months, Xbox needs to do something to remind people it's not actually that in touch with gamers or reality. $120 for a year of Xbox Live Gold (to bully people onto Game Pass) is the latest example.
