@ymnis_v1 @OmegaPlayo That 80% figure is skewed. It counts games that are digital only and don't have a physical version. If you count games with physical versions, the numbers are much higher for physical.

@PlayerEssence @OmegaPlayo why do you keep pretending consumers are innocent bystanders? the industry didn’t trip, fall, and accidentally become 80%+ digital. people bought digital. for years. this is the market they built.

Physical games should NOT go away, it's way better for consumers even if you only buy digital. Demon Souls is much cheaper as a gift or for yourself physical compared to digital as an outright purchase. Having the choice for both is worth fighting for.

@ymnis_v1 @OmegaPlayo What is there to challenge? Consumers should have LESS choices? I do not understand why gamers would want LESS choices. Why side with a multi billion dollar corp that's only doing this to make higher profit margins, it doesn't benefit us at all.

@PlayerEssence @OmegaPlayo I understand the argument. you don’t seem to understand the difference between challenging your example and misunderstanding your argument.

@JRunn87 nice man, enjoy '

@ymnis_v1 @OmegaPlayo Yes, my proof is the countless games you can find physical cheaper at times than digital. Having the choice is literally the point. Not sure why you can't understand this.

@PlayerEssence @OmegaPlayo “fighting for the choice is worth it” was your conclusion. “Demon’s Souls is cheaper physical” was your proof. the proof got challenged and now apparently it was never the point 😭 come on man

@TemplarsRoar And blocked. You're a weirdo

You're an idiot. This response makes it seem like I was saying NOBODY is calling out Xbox leadership. I never said or implied that in the first place. I was simply talking to Smash on HIS singular post. I know reading comprehension and critical thinking isn't your strength but try harder.

What sort of statement is this? Of course people like myself and others call out leadership all the time, but it’s not exclusively a leadership problem. The problem is who is at these companies, their race communist focused politics and the overall disdain and hatred for humanity in general, but specifically gamers. Every fired game dev and shutdown studio brings us one step closer to cleaning up the mess that these radical feminists and obnoxious failed theater kid freaks have done to the hobby I enjoy.

@TemplarsRoar Sorry, I don't know or care who you are and I wasn't even talking to you. I was talking to Smash on his post, not to every random grifter crying online. Relax dude.

@PlayerEssence If you can’t read the name, Grok can help with TTS. It’s a public forum, Juice.

@SmashJT Maybe you should be calling out leadership then right?

@SmashJT Wait, so everyone of the upcoming 5K+ people let go were at fault for Xbox / Sony failing and shouldn't be able to find employment going forward? NOT the leadership who allowed whatever you're complaining about to happen? This is a joke right?

Nintendo really looked at the mass layoffs at XBOX and PlayStation and said: "I encourage you to continue building your network and exploring opportunities across our industry, including those available at Nintendo. Don't hesitate to connect with others, start conversations, and lean on your community." Here we go again. The same developers and corporate culture that helped drive Sony and Microsoft into this mess are now being welcomed with open arms at Nintendo. He continues: "I've been fortunate to meet so many incredible people throughout my career, and one of the things I've always loved most about this industry is that we tend to take care of each other." ...What could possibly go wrong?

@Matt_Bennet1 Alright, blocked. Moron

@PlayerEssence I like how you didn't give me proof, try again retard

@nin10matt @KRock_82 Oh ok, mybad. I need to read better. I thought you were playing Time Stranger.

@PlayerEssence @KRock_82 Cyber Sleuth originally released in 2016 with the updated version in 2019

Started playing #Digimon Cyber Sleuth on the #NintendoSwitch and my only question is why does it feel better than #Pokémon Sword and Shield?

@adams_y2ken Read what I said again.

@PlayerEssence More like exclusive software to sell hardware to draw in more software sales. Since, ya know, hardware sells at a loss and software is what brings income.

Nintendo has been selling exclusive software to sell new hardware for decades now to great success. It's always funny when I see people act like this isn't something millions of gamers want when it's been this way for decades now. There's a reason why it only took the Switch 2 three days to outsell the Steam Deck.

@Matt_Bennet1 Here you idiot lol. Retailers set prices for games for Nintendo, MS and Sony nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/ab…

@PlayerEssence Still no proof from your retarded ass

@Matt_Bennet1 You're the moron who thinks Sony somehow discounts games AFTER the retailer already purchased it from the store 😆

@PlayerEssence no moron

@nin10matt Probably a bit oo low. Even the side order DLC was a 78 and that was just a small rouge mode. The previews from the majority of the outlets were very positive. Trending for a 80+

@PlayerEssence I'm saying 75-79. Excited for it though.

Played the Splatoon Raiders demo again & it's still fantastic! - The Speed Tank is hype, love the skills - Technical Tank takes some getting used to but fun in certain situations - RPG elements/ level based structure is perfect for pick up & play - beat the demo boss!

@Matt_Bennet1 They absolutely did.

@PlayerEssence Amazon did not make the price $36

@nin10matt 81-83

@PlayerEssence Metacriric prediction?

@JezCorden My dude, you said Game Pass was successful and Microsoft was doing fine multiple times in the Xbox podcast I watch with Randle.... clearly you and many others were wrong about Xbox and the business.

@PlayerEssence mmmmmmmm no

Shawn Layden's "you need to choose to be a publisher or a platform" @ Xbox take feels like weird gaslighting to me. Literally says who? What magical rule book determines this? Lol. I dunno why people are lapping this up. Microsoft has made hardware for decades, and published for decades. It's possible that business models exist outside of how PlayStation defines things. Sorry.
