Ah yes, the decade that pushed many to pc.
Came here to say basically this ‘huh funny i haven’t played Xbox for about 10 years.’
The article makes a strong argument for Spencer’s success as the head of Xbox and I’m hard pressed to disagree. Xbox game pass was and is a stroke of brilliance and it truly is one of the first things you think of when you think of Xbox. Game Pass and Microsoft’s aggressive acquisition strategies means that many of the of the best upcoming games in the next decade will likely be exclusive to Xbox and Windows. Sony has won this generation of the console wars but Xbox does look strong long term. I’m interested to see where it will head.
I didn’t down vote, but I’d assume that people on lemmy skew towards a dislike of centralised corporate structures, especially when they’re pushing a subscription service in place of game ownership, and so they’re not so much disagreeing with you as they are simply upset by what you’re saying. Of course, I may be wrong on that. Personally I think it could go either way, I think their aquisitions have not yielded the return that they may have hoped for, and I really hope that gamepass fails, but it doesn’t seem like it will. Que sera sera I suppose.
Buy more studios and release more mediocre games, that’s gotta work eventually.
