Look at that. Some push back and likely bad preorder numbers made Xbox reverse this decision. Hopefully they don't try to increase the prices next year.

Call of Duty will probably be $80. But that franchise is big enough to do that.

But MS' official release says "our full priced holiday releases" will be $70. I don't see how BO6 avoids that, unless on some strange technicality.

The passing of the Father of the Elder Scrolls.....absolute legend!

It’s with great sadness we learn of the passing of Julian LeFay.

He was the driving force in the creation of The Elder Scrolls and the foundations of Bethesda as a game studio.

Simply put, without Julian, we would not be here today. If you had the opportunity to work with… pic.twitter.com/55bJAaL7qz

Alright, folks. It's time for another informal game code giveaway. The rules are simple: simply comment and you'll be pooled into a raffle with everyone else. Winner gets a game code for Daedalic's The Night of the Rabbit. I'll close it in a few days and message the winner soon thereafter. Good luck!

https://www.vgchartz.com/article/465160/the-night-of-the-rabbit-xs/

So Satya decided to send his own memo on the layoffs and if you ever thought how much disassociated someone like him is than that memo says it all. There must be some communication person who is shaking their heads thinking. It would have been best if you just did not say anything at all.
