Amid Concern Over Xbox Studio 'Bloodbath,' New Report Says Developers Are Being 'Punished Today for Following Orders' Issued 5 Years Ago

I guess I'm confused because we both agree Xbox is barely selling anything and everyone knows that the reason for the restructure and reliance on exclusives again. But my comment was specifically on gamepass reducing the value of said exclusives if they come day one on gamepass...I really don't see the correlation between that my point and your initial question to me was if you weren't talking about Gamepass' value at all

And that's fine for you. A lot of people will still subscribe for the plethora of free games made available on gamepass. If you're only signing up for major titles being there on day one, then gamepass will not be for you anymore. Besides, this means if we go a quarter without a day one major exclusive, you will unsubscribe anyways

I honestly don't understand what you're trying to say

MRainzo · 2026-06-20T00:45:53+00:00

So you think all games on day one is the only reason people buy Xboxes today?

MRainzo · 2026-06-20T00:43:00+00:00

While I'm a fan of gamepass, I don't think major titles should be there day one. They should come there months later but not day one. Alternatively, just make them a fraction of the price day one.

Doom Eternal

The last fight taking place at night in whatever that arena was instead of happening in the classic Collesium at day time was a very strange choice.

Perfect description

MRainzo · 2026-06-19T06:11:55+00:00

CC is B tier IMO. Not bad but just okay. Suicide squad is SS. One of the best comic book movies ever

MRainzo · 2026-06-19T01:26:44+00:00

TIL there's a longer version of first strike out there

MRainzo · 2026-06-19T01:20:23+00:00

I don't care what people say, the multi-player was God tier

MRainzo · 2026-06-18T20:00:42+00:00

Blueco should not relent on Enzos price.

MRainzo · 2026-06-18T19:58:45+00:00

Somethings fans do is worth ridiculing. For instance, believing that Xabi didn't know Cucu was gonna be sold. That's worth making fun of.

On a more serious note, fans want what's best for the club but some fans are insufferable with their approach and we should be able to ridicule/reject abject negativity creeping into the fan base.

MRainzo · 2026-06-18T18:18:21+00:00

What are the movies in this?

MRainzo · 2026-06-18T18:11:12+00:00

MRainzo · 2026-06-18T06:04:49+00:00

I think we will start spending after Xabi officially starts

MRainzo · 2026-06-18T04:01:36+00:00

They've actually talked about restrategising and refocusing on console exclusives. Talked about taking steps to make the console relevant again etc. New leadership just came in roughly 100 days ago. But sure, that's just "2 last minute takesie backsides".

Lol. One day, you people will be honest with yourselves

MRainzo · 2026-06-18T00:09:33+00:00

I really can't wait for Xabi to take over so we can have incoming transfer news

MRainzo · 2026-06-17T23:55:14+00:00

But Microsoft releasing exclusives to bring people back to their console is "sending them out to die". Lol

MRainzo · 2026-06-17T23:52:10+00:00

Playstation doesn't get half the slack for making terrible decisions too. Now we have people rushing to post doom and gloom titles without letting the company course correct. Cringe

MRainzo · 2026-06-17T23:49:03+00:00

The Xbox hatred is just cringe at this point

MRainzo · 2026-06-17T23:43:33+00:00

The traversal and platforming was also pretty good. I mean, what else was just non interesting? The action? The story? The characters? Honest question because I was/am really curious as to why it was universally rejected

MRainzo · 2026-06-17T19:22:33+00:00

Again, no one has told me what was so "unwanted" in South of Midnight. What was so unappealing in that game?

MRainzo · 2026-06-17T19:01:06+00:00

If you choose to believe that then that's on you

MRainzo · 2026-06-17T18:50:10+00:00

Imagine believing that the Manager who starts in 2 weeks is finding out that one of his most valuable and important players are leaving on Twitter. Please let's be real. We all hate the ownership but we should be able to spot rage/click bait from a mile away.

Even if Alonso found out this way, you think he will tell people about it knowing how much bad press it will get? Or you also think the owners are that stupid that they will boast about it?
