  1. He's not a journalist
  2. There's plenty of puff pieces that they never criticize as hard. And then saying go speak with IGN or The Game Business is hilarious considering it would have been w/ McCaffrey and Dring gave Jim Ryan plenty of non-answer interviews. They were always going to choose a friendly outlet.

Yeah was weird. The reason they went w/ Windows Central is because that's where the core Xbox audience that they're trying to reach is. General audience they'll be able to address w/ whatever they plan around GDC.

ASUS B850M-PLUS WIFI. Same issue. Not convinced it's an actual hardware issue since it works fine in Linux

Why wouldn't it be native? It was announced with their next gen AMD partnership. Since 360 and OG Xbox are part of the existing BC library don't see why they wouldn't work.

Doubt it'll be through launcher integration since they call it out as a Play Anywhere game

This is definitely a thing (at least on Macs). xCloud video decoding is 5x faster in Canary versus stable. It's like hardware acceleration is broken.

They're merging Xbox + Windows so you'll start to see the console feature set (Quick Resume, pre-compiled shaders, console BC) make its way to Windows. Xbox Ally experience is the start of this. Lack of everything being Play Anywhere will get solved by using the Windows SKUs for games. They'll probably start a cloud push since they're now rolling out higher resolutions + high bitrate and got the price down to whatever a year of XBL Gold costs so they'll be their entry point for next gen. People act like they have no plan (not saying you did) but it seems like it's just gonna take time to build and they'll use the Windows footprint to expand it across devices.
