Okay this one made me laugh :)

Redfall could have been a great game man, what a waste :( I was so disappointed by it...

Yeah, this will do nothing for Xbox. A Gamepass filler and year old online multiplayer games. HiFi Rush is at least something. 

I think they should port Halo, yes. That franchise could use some new players. Same with Gears. Then the new games in those franchises will be exclusive to Xbox. THAT would at least draw in some people. If thats even what they are really going for. Throwing a few decent games on other platforms will do nothing for them. I would be surprised if the even made their money back from them.

Sorry, but I do not think you know those games enough if you believe that...

Sea of Thieves and Grounded alone are going to generate a lot of revenue if they are coming to Switch and Play Station.

That's a no-brainer and why would they not? You talk like nobody likes or wants to play those games. Those games are VERY popular already and there is really no reason at all why it would not be the case on other platforms.

I dont know those games, thats true. Because I dont care about them. I had to look up Pentiment to even know what it was. I mean I cant even remember the last time someone mentioned Grounded... Thats the Honey I shrunk The Kids game, right?

Sea of Thieves and Grounded alone are going to generate a lot of revenue if they are coming to Switch and Play Station; and if anything they have numbers in front of them before to make those decisions... They already know that it is most likely going to be beneficial.

But anyway, that's a no-brainer and why would they not? You talk like nobody likes or wants to play those games. Those games are VERY popular already and there is really no reason at all why it would not be the case on other platforms.

Grounded and SoT are massive tentpoles or Xbox. Them putting these live service games on other platforms looks to also be strategic is suffocating some of the competitions' own GAAS. Only so many GAAS you can play. Kind of a bold move honestly.

Xbox fans got to suffer, so should PS and Nintendo fans.

I'm confused, are you saying they should port Halo to PlayStation to get people to consider getting into Xbox? Just clarifying.

Think Pentiment is more about throwing Josh Sawyer a bone Tbh, it's a utterly niche ass passion project and Josh Sawyer said he wanted it on other platforms long ago, it's going to do absolutely nothing for Xbox hardware, heck, 90% of Xbox gamers probably don't even know about it, haha. But it's such a gem which deserves to be played by as many as possible and will have ZERO affect on Xbox hardware.

Sea of Thieves/Grounded are more about maintaining their communities, they're both years old, likely reaching a saturation point on Xbox hardware, eventually it will be "shutdown" or...you can port the game and it gets even more life, honestly these niche titles and GaaS titles don't really make sense keeping exclusive for years on end, at the end of the day it's not about the Xbox hardware for these but the health of the games themselves.

Yeah, this will do nothing for Xbox. A Gamepass filler and year old online multiplayer games. HiFi Rush is at least something.

Uh, I take issue with your labelling of "Game Pass filler" Lol. Are you calling Pentiment a Game Pass filler? Game is critically acclaimed and a passion project from Josh Sawyer, niche doesn't deserve the label of "Game Pass filler" which is often used in a negative way.

But like I said, it's not about moving Xbox consoles, it's about the health of these IPs. If Sea of Thieves/Grounded start stagnating, or losing players, what happens to them? They get shutdown, in that case it is always better to port them to more players.

But you know what, I would actually be fine with Infinite on PlayStation because the MP is in an amazing place right now but doesn't have the players it deserves, what I think they should do though, is split the Halo MP from the SP, keep the SP exclusive and release the MP on PlayStation.

Insiders can go fuck themselves and Ryuu and or G2, needs to stop posting them. Especially Jizz.

Go ahead and post them Ryuu and G2, just do it with your alt accounts.

Well that's my point then, if you do not know those games... But are calling them Game Pass fillers, this is just weird.. :)

It's essentially the "case by case" response I was expecting. 4 ports are full steam ahead and after that decisions have yet to be made.

I did want something more explicit but business is business.

HFR, Pentiment, Sea of Thieves and Grounded to begin with and we'll see what they follow with after that.

This is how I see it too.

Maybe not a Gamepass filler, but not exactly a system seller I mean.

Im just saying IF they really are interested in getting new players, then they have to do better.
