I'm not even going to bother responding anymore. I believe they are an Xbox fan but they're clearly wrapped up in the console wars. It's like they follow Twitter console warriors and believe everything some loser on Twitter says or cares far too much about it. It's a constant stream of negativity and complaining no matter what, nothing is ever good enough. Every single issue no matter how small is blown into a major one. Constant console war-like comparisons between completely different videogames. Anecdotal claims with zero evidence.

It's funny to act like ABK is on deaths doors or that Call of Duty fans give a single fuck about reviews or online reception, which has been trashing COD for the past 15 years, they don't give a fuck, it's still consistently the best selling title every year. I don't give a fuck what some console warriors cry about on Twitter when it comes to "Microsoft ruined XYZ!!!" because guess what, they don't know what they're talking about, they're wrong but those idiots will be screaming it regardless of what Microsoft does.

I. Don't. Care. What. Console. Warriors. Say.

So you admit Xbots don't give a DAMN about a games quality!  

Well, I specifically said Call of Duty fans which I stand by

It's not even that really, Call of Duty has been trashed by the online forum userbase for the past 15 years, communities like ours, ResetEra, etc. Constantly mock Call of Duty, even I've mocked Call of Duty, but clearly the fanbase doesn't give a shit, clearly the fanbase still enjoys it. Reviews do not matter a single bit for Call of Duty is my point. I bet 90% of Call of Duty fans couldn't even tell you the Metacritic score for the recent COD.

Still consistently the best selling game every year, still enjoyed and played by millions.

And the upcoming CoD has a lot of excitement for it because it's remastering Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer maps, literally one of the most loved CoD's of all time. Call of Duty fans have wanted this for a long time. Just look at how many people jumped back into Modern Warfare 2 when the online servers were fixed despite it being old as fuck and filled with hackers, Lol.

Some devs thought about the Unity move 

"I don't even care if they walk this back or try to walk this back and say "oh well you know we'll tackle this another time". Well well take the L because that's exactly it, they'll tackle it another time and once you're locked into their ecosystem you basically have to bend the knee to this that you've got no choice"

This echoes the sentiment I have, it does not matter now even if Unity reverses course, the fact they've shown the possibility and willingness to do such is enough. Unity is dead as long as Riccitiello remains CEO. 

Must be horrible right now to be someone working for Unity and having your career prospects literally burned to the ground by the whims of greedy idiots.

The longer it goes on as well, the more developers will have begun the process of switching over and then they aren't going to bother switching back. Unity keeps trying to "clarify" shit instead of just reversing the damn decision as well, it's like they think we're all idiots. I really hope Microsoft/Sony/Apple/Nintendo have a lawsuit lined up.

This decision literally fucks us all too (platform holders, subscription holders, gamers, unity developers and employees).

This shows the danger of having one engine hold such a massive portion of the market though, we're all focused on Unity right now but it shows a danger of everyone switching to Unreal Engine because imagine if Epic pulled such a move in the future, I think there's some options for Unity developers because there's other good engines at a smaller scale but there's really not any viable alternatives to Unreal Engine for the AAA market.

I think Xbox should license out their engines to any that want to use them, id Tech, Creation, Forza Tech, etc. I also think Xbox needs to focus more of their devs on their own engines because I really worry about how many of them are using Unreal now. Epic are greedy bastards and eventually they will show their true colors and increase their fee from 5% to 10 or 15% now that they have won over dozens of devs (including AAA) in recent years.

Especially with how much money Epic is pouring into EGS lol. And that money isn't even being used to improve EGS in any meaningful way either

It's time for id Tech to rise from the ashes once again!!! It's just a legendary engine that led the charge for years prior to id being acquired by Bethesda. Even directly leading to other well known engines like Source from Valve and even Call of Duty's IW Engine. id could be helping lead the charge in technical advancements. Might even nudge John Carmack to rejoin id

I’m going for NG+10.

You get upgrades each time you enter NG+ up through the 10th time, right?

Yes, a new suit every level and a new ship up to NG+6

Seems like easy money!

Guess they may be worried about competition though, a racing title using Forzatech for example would increase its competition to Motorsport, Forzatech being a brilliant engine with T10 doing all the work then a competitor racing game takes all that work and makes essentially a clone of Motorsport, Lol.

Think some more multi-purpose engines like ID Tech could be licensed out though, people can make a shooter but it won't be like Doom, Lol.

It's a travesty when you look at the list of games that have utilized id Tech 7 lol. id Tech 5 & 6 each had 5 games release with that version of the engine. This legendary engine deserves more!!!

That's another 1m players since June. It's increasing faster than Tango's other game, HiFi Rush, it hit 2m players in March and 3m in August. So that is 1m new players in 3 months for Ghostwire compared to 1m more players in 5 months for HiFi. However, it is worth noting that Ghostwire is on one more platform, PS5, and it's also on PS+ mid tier. 

It's also gaining faster than the similarly once PS5 timed exclusive Deathloop. Deathloop released 6 months before Ghostwire Tokyo in September 2021, hit 5m players in February 2023 (4 months before Ghostwire hit 5m players), but it has yet to be announced as hitting 6m players and now Ghostwire has.
