This is something I've been asking ever since the narrative of "Game Pass is destroying the industry" started. If the likes of GP or even PS+ is destroying gaming, then wtf is the likes of the biggest black hole live service games doing?!

This post had me like

When bad or confusing stuff happens, someone needs to blame something.  Since GP is MS push and apparent main focus then it must be GP fault for everything.  The thing is its a combination of a lot of different things that are taking away gamers time.  You have streaming music, TV and movie services.  You have mobile and free to play games and you have your big GAAS games as well.  Lets also not forget touching grass once and a while.  There is only so much time within the day for all the ways we can use our time and with prices for everything going up.  

Then we have expectations from gamers.  What is worth 70 bones.  Would you rather wait until a game hits PS+, GP or another one of these services then spend your money to play the game on release.  Is that mindset any different when people were willing to wait until it was on sell, discounted or used.

Either a game is a huge AAA or its a small AA like Peak.  Everything in the middle just isn't getting bought because we continue to see mid level developers face a lot of layoffs because gamers have way to many options and plenty of means to just either wait or play their GAAS endless games.

This was a rather bizarre but welcome sight! lol but only adds questions as to why other Xbox games can't get the same treatment.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 physical Xbox Series X release is all on disc

It is confirmed that only the Series X version of the game is on disc. XOne version is still a needed download.

Looks like the pricing of the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X may have been inadvertently leaked by Asus. The same price as the current ROG Ally X, 899EUR, so presumably the same for the other currencies which would be £799/$799.

I will upgrade from my steam deck to likely a Z2 Extreme device at some point but not looking to spend this much. Will wait till prices come down and see what other devices are on the market. Lenovo Legion Go 2 etc.
