Totally off topic, but I find all the pronoun labels so pointless...like, unless you're asking people to address you in a way that's not patently obvious regardless, why do I need to see what your pronouns are? If you look like a dude, don't worry bro, I think you're gonna be addressed as a dude. If you look like a woman, chances are, people will address you as if you're a woman. I don't think Phil Spencer has to worry about being stopped on the street by someone going "excuse me mam, which way to the nearest Taco Bell?" Closest he'll ever get to having to worry about being mislabeled is some random fanboy calling him a bitch.

It's just a show of support to anyone who may have different pronouns.

Literally just a few extra characters, no big deal, it's easy to ignore.

I'd be curious to know if people who actually have a need to inform people of their pronouns really feel supported by this type of thing, or not. Like, to me, I think if I identified as a woman, and had to constantly make that known to people I surround myself with, it would seem like such an empty gesture for those who don't really have to worry about being misgendered at all to make this show of always putting their pronouns in their social media bios, corporate headers, etc. Or like, if I met someone out in public, introduced myself, and gave my pronouns - again, cus I had to - and then the other person responded by also telling me their pronouns despite it being perfectly obvious...that could so easily come across as mocking. Even if they said it in a perfectly normal tone, I would always be wondering in the back of my head...are they making fun of me right now?

I once mislabeled a female for male, got corrected awkward for a second and we moved on *shrugs*

Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I know this is evil of me, but part of me REALLY wants to see another roundtable discussion (like they did after Bethesda closed) with Bobby there in the middle of all the people who aren't total scumbags, and it just being the most awkward thing in the universe lol

Guessing this means like Bethesda upholding contractual games until it runs out. 

Also where is FF on Xbox, can i expect that? How about SF? No? OK. Get bent lol.

Finished Watch Dogs 2, really enjoyed it much more than the first. 

Guess I'll be starting Far Cry 3.

Sony is just doing what any business would do in this situation. Assure consumers, and investors, that this won't really negatively affect you. You can't expect them to do anything less.

What MS will do, is obvious as well. Of course they'll honor any existing contracts. Of course they'll continue to support any games/services that already exist on PS by the time this deal closes. They're not going to just rip Warzone off PS, or something of that nature. But beyond that...? MS is going to do what's in the best interest of growing GP. That's all.

WOW that's actually good from Sony... I don't think people realize it, but this statement is full of PR shit and wording is amazing :)

Basically, Sony knows (they do...) that future games won't be multiplatform, but right now do damage control they just posted this so Play Station enthusiasts will read it as "oh future games will be on Play Station cause they have an obligation"...

While we all know (as they do) this is really just talking about current games (and contract already signed). So people who do not read between the lines will take this statement as "oh games from Activision are coming on Sony's boxes"...

I expect people to start taking this statement as a "proof" that games are going to be multiplaform :) Same as when Spencer is talking about Microsoft fullfilling current contracts obligations and making sure existing community will still get updates etc.. People read this instead "future games will be on your platform"...
