ErinCrush, do games w Who is subscribing to Game Pass, PS Plus and Nintendo Switch Online, and why?

I don’t pay for any video streaming services. I pay for gamepass because sometimes I want to try out something crazy I’ve never played before and it’s great for that.

Defaced, do games w Who is subscribing to Game Pass, PS Plus and Nintendo Switch Online, and why?

Xbox gamepass: for my kids, but they’re not really using it, so I may cancel it for good.

Ps plus: for me, I prefer PlayStation over Xbox and I love all the classic PlayStation games on it.

NSO: cloud saves, that’s pretty much it, but I just cancelled it today because I just don’t use it and neither do the kids.

Ps+ top tier. I always had ps+ since it’s what I have always used. I always used to renew at black Friday to get a year for about 33% less and once they did the plan change a few years ago I swooped in and brought up a bunch of cheap years since the price was going up. I have until spring next year before it’s finally over. Not sure if I will renew, not because it’s bad (which I don’t think it is at all) but because I barely have time to get anything out of it, sadly. There was some great moments where I stopped buying games and just enjoying the triple A ones they gave every month. Now I just don’t have time to play anything… maybe one day I’ll be free again.

cyborganism, do gaming w Call of Duty and Diablo boost Microsoft's gaming revenues, but Xbox sales continue to fall

Well yeah. Didn’t they just announce they wouldn’t be making any more consoles in the future?

Hdcase,

There have been rumors and speculation, but that’s not what MS is saying.

“More interestingly, [Xbox President Sarah] Bond teased a roadmap focused on next-generation hardware.

“'And what we’re focused on there is delivering the largest technical leap you will have ever seen in a hardware generation, which makes it better for players and better for creators and the visions they’re building,” Bond explained in the recent episode of the Official Xbox Podcast.'”

cyborganism,

Ah! Good to know!

Yeah I had heard rumors that they were going to focus on multi platform gaming instead, but apparently they will still be doing more consoles. That’s good!

User79185, do games w EA shuts down Ridgeline Games

Electronic Arts has announced the closure of Ridgeline Games, the studio working on a new single-player Battlefield campaign.

As reported by IGN, the project is reportedly set to continue with “some” employees from Ridgeline set to join Ripple Effect – another Battlefield studio working on a different experience within the franchise.

This is according to an internal note seen by IGN, which suggested Criterion producer Danny Isaac and studio head of creative Darren White will take over the project following the departure of Ridgeline’s former head and founder Marcus Lehto yesterday.

GamesIndustry.biz has reached out to EA for further clarification.

The news followed mass layoffs at EA, which will see 5% of its workforce cut as part of its restructuring plan which involves closing offices and sunsetting some of its live service games.

EA CEO Andrew Wilson said in a note to staff that the company is planning to “move away from development of future licensed IP that we do not believe will be successful in our changing industry.”

Ah yes, I totally have the time to dedicate to each and every single one of these 'endless' experiences and an bottomless wallet chock full of cash whose only purpose is to be spent on cosmetic items that nobody but me will ever give two shits about.

It’s a contemplative movie about a guy and him never having met his father, having a child of his own and traveling across a destroyed world and seeing how the survivors cope.

The sci fi stuff is just a layer over it, if they can make the themes and symbolism work

Computerchairgeneral, do games w ReedPop Network seeks buyer for Eurogamer, GI, VG247, Rock Paper Shotgun and more

Well. This isn't going to end well. I mean there's a tiny chance they'll be bought by someone who knows well enough to be hands off, but more likely they'll be run into the ground and then have their staff slashed as a cost-cutting measure. Hopefully things turn out all right for the people working at these sites.

I hope if I ever have a hell spawn or adopt, that I can teach them the ways of not getting addicted to those types of games.

We refuse to let our 7-year-old play Roblox, but she’s definitely complained that she has classmates that do. It’s an endless battle for sure.

ratman150,

As a 27 year old who used to love Roblox you probably made the right decision. It’s no longer a good platform.

espiritu_p, do gaming w Gabe Newell ordered to make in-person deposition for Valve v. Wolfire Games lawsuit

Just vaccine and all be good.

sfera,

That’s not how the Covid vaccines work. It’s all a game of probabilities and you can still get sick. They may also help you get more easily through the sickness, but it’s not a guarantee. Previously having additional health issues and age are also factors to take into account.

So maybe his concerns aren’t completely without base.

And even if vaccines reduce the risk of long COVID, the risk is still there. 1 in 10 COVID cases leads to long COVID. It’s about layers of protection against COVID, one of which is vaccines. The others are masks/respirators, good indoor air quality, testing, UVC lights, staying home if one is sick and so on.

espiritu_p,

Well,
especially if he has additional health issues he should go for his vaccine. Of course it's not a guarantee, but it lowers the risk for a serious illness significantly.

And it's still not an excuse to stay away from a courtroom.
