@PlayerEssence little banter back and forth, layoffs are inevitable and unavoidable Especially in the state the industry is in at the moment, Bungie iMO is one of the few studios I don’t mind seeing it affect , unlike Bluepoint which I’m still mad about, we can disagree that’s what X is for 🫡

@Trash_Gamer143 Ok, I think you have mental problems or are just a really weird troll. I'll refrain from interacting with you going forward. Have a nice day.

Sony has been incredibly profitable over the last number of years. I personally feel these layoffs shouldn't be happening.

@PlayerEssence This you are a million percent correct 🫡😎

Microsoft just announced another price increase for the Xbox Series consoles effective on August 1st, 2026. Everything is jumping up $100 to $150. I might be wrong, but this is probably the death knell for Xbox hardware.

@PlayerEssence You said it not me “they don’t make games” that is why I compared them to NOA because Bungie also does not make games, that’s why they are in the unemployment line now

@Trash_Gamer143 You're just lying and being manipulative. Why would you compare a dev studio to NOA who doesn't make games? No need to damage control and defend Sony here, you aren't getting paid for it.

@PlayerEssence It is true I am referencing “Nintendo America” it is estimated they have 1100-1400 employees, when Sony purchased Bungie they were OVER 1200, Sony is profitable no 💩 that don’t mean they have to welfare unproductive employees, same at any business, pull your weight or get cut

@Trash_Gamer143 This has nothing to do with Nintendo. I'm commenting on Sony being very profitable and not having to reduce their workforce. And Bungie doesn't "almost have more employees than almost all of Nintendo". That's a lie.

@PlayerEssence To me they all need to GTFO of the industry and close entirely, what made Bungie “Bungie” years ago don’t exists anymore, worse purchase by Sony ever and was just a rug pull by current leaders at Bungie, take the 100-200 good talent spread them to other studios and axe the rest

@PlayerEssence If you know people personally ok but this is not a welfare line buddy and bungie for their output and having 800-1200 employees is a sign of bad leadership and a poor work environment, stop trying to get an 👏 from fanboys, they have more employees than almost all of Nintendo

After months of rumours, GTA 6 won't be $100 after all… except, it kind of is pcgamer.com/games/action/a…

@StylezMoralez @AkaHighGround @O107_ @BrokenGamezHDR_ Literally said I’m buying the $100 version, to me a lot of that is why I like GTA… use them eyes bro and read

@AkaHighGround @O107_ @Trash_Gamer143 @BrokenGamezHDR_ Exactly 😂we’re in for a generational once in a lifetime game and they are mad about a skin or a physical disc you’d have to download the game either way to your console

People gonna act like GTA 6 is the first game to be $80 in the modern era and forget who really did it first...

@StylezMoralez @AkaHighGround @O107_ @BrokenGamezHDR_ Who is mad

@DON66614 @tomwarren Anyone who has played GTA 5 for any substantial amount of time knows them shops are key to your enjoyment of the game , I’ll be in for the $100 version just like 90% of people guaranteed

@Trash_Gamer143 @tomwarren Damn, it's some extra vehicles, weapon skins, haircuts, and workshops. Easy to live without that stuff.

Rockstar Games is pricing GTA 6 at $79.99 for PS5 and Xbox Series S/X. The ultimate edition is priced at $99.99

@O107_ @StylezMoralez @BrokenGamezHDR_ Really it is mostly about the sandbox in the end so yeah, not hating on it I’ll be buying the $100 version on release

@StylezMoralez @Trash_Gamer143 @BrokenGamezHDR_ A lot of customization. In a game series where customization is a really, really big part.

@PaulTassi Half the people won’t realize half the content at launch is locked behind the ultimate edition, game is $100 plain and simple…a lot more than just cosmetics is locked behind the ultimate edition

Update: GTA 6 is $80. Ultimate is $100. Let the takes begin!

@JamesTheMuttz Valve high prices here comes the brigade of anime avatars to their defense, Nintendo, Sony , Microsoft has high prices “corporate greed” is all I hear from the same clowns , if valve and Gabe really wanted to expand console market they would break even at least, Gabe’s Yacht Club

I keep seeing people complain about the price, so I’m throwing in my two cents: I dunno if you knew this, but.. IT IS A PC!! It’s not a console, it’s far more powerful than that, and far cheaper than literally most pre-built gaming PCs. Hecc, it’s about $200 cheaper than what my hand-built was, and that PC’s 7 years old now! Plus, the Steam Machine can literally be used like a PC, which is incredible! So TL;DR It’s a super affordable PC that’s roughly the size of the GameCube (if not smaller), not an overpriced console. If you say otherwise, I’m gonna cry I swear. Also: it not including a controller? Yeah, because it’s a PC and (presumably) assumes you have a mouse and keyboard already and maybe a controller. Don’t have a controller but want to play with one? Go to Goodwill and get a wired Logitech one for like $12, it’ll treat you well I promise. That’s my rant for the year, love y’all 💖🥰

@PlayerEssence Switch 2 comparable if not better in benchmarks, and $750 cheaper with controller, ☠️ Steam Machine on Day 1 .. PC master race folks 🤫 now , c’mon man garbage machine with no exclusives worth buying for

Steam Machine prices confirmed. $1K to $1.4K based on the bundle and memory.
