wow. Microsoft is scrapping Copilot on Xbox, just hours after a big Xbox platform reorg. Xbox Copilot on mobile is being killed off and development of Copilot on Xbox consoles is over theverge.com/games/924551/m…
@SpawnYaardReply Physical - Around 500 or so
Digital - Around 2500
Used to have a lot more physical but had to clear a lot of stuff out after marriage lol
Gamers, how many games do you think you own? Like do you have a ball park number?
I'm not gonna count but I have started owning from 2020 and at this point I'm looking at around 100 games across all platforms.
@IdleSloth84_@benkenobi2020 Xbox needs to be more consumer-focused if they want to win back consumer trust. Don't think bringing in a bunch of AI bros is the way to achieve this considering the usual reaction to anything AI related.
Asha Sharma has overhauled parts of the Xbox leadership team
“Right now, it is too hard to ship impact quickly. We spend too much time inward instead of with the community, and we lack the depth we need in some of the fundamentals”
Xbox is “bringing in new leaders with consumer and technical expertise we do not yet have,” she wrote in the memo.
Four of those leaders are coming from the CoreAI group, overlapping with Sharma.

Can anyone think of any game sequels that were remarkably WORSE than the original?
Usually the sequel is the original game perfected, and the third, while good, isn't quite as great as the second.
@Knucklebreak@SpawnYaardReply Great point. Especially on PC you can find a lot of cheap 3rd party stuff so that makes the price seem even higher (unless you actually take the time to consider the features)
PS edge controller - $200
Xbox Elite controller - $200
Steam Pro Controller with more features than the other 2 is $100 and we still have people complaining it's expensive.
@SpawnYaardReply I think the problem is two-fold
1) Average users are comparing the price against the cheaper base Xbox & PS controllers
2) Everyone hoping Valve is going to have aggressive pricing with this 2nd attempt on Steam Machines. But high controller price might mean high hardware price
To save Xbox, Asha Sharma doesn't have to defeat PlayStation or Steam — she has to defeat Microsoft itself.

I've been covering Xbox for over a decade, and the same cycle keeps coming up time and time again: Microsoft itself is Xbox's biggest enemy. And to save Xbox, Asha Sharma will need to convince CEO Satya Nadella that subsidizing their recent sprint of poor decisions will take more than one or even two fiscal years.

@JezCorden Spot-on. Nadella and Hood are the most short-sighted executive team working today. They have systematically dismantled almost every consumer product at MS chasing easy stock raises. And instead of investing in new product they're flushing away all revenue into the AI toilet
So what’s everyone playing this weekend? I’m working on Aphelion right now. Doing a full collectibles/achievement walkthrough and a review. Almost done chapter 4 so far.
Game has done gorgeous scenery
