Dodgeball Academia is a day one Game Pass release.
No, but the number of people I see mention gamepass ultimate and doing the trick.
People cheering when an egs exclusive is also on PC GP etc, the service is good. It'll be doing fine, it's just weighed down by the MS store.
Legit was excited for it, now I know it has cheevos I'm 100% inngl that's the only one I'm installing off that list
it even has achievements!
The Microsoft solitaire collection has legitimately made my day. Only thing that would top it is a surprise release of peggle 2 on pc.
I can't find the tweet atm, but I think NPD Mat stated that the vast majority of game pass subs comes from consoles and that PC game pass pas is miniscule in comparison. Still I might misremember.
The worst thing is that even the developers don't know why it was delisted.
Gamepass isn't profitable per say but the fact that it brings up engagement is more than enough for MS to face the negative numbers and keep improving the service over time, in fact, the number of players jumping in is growing each day so yeah, it's working and it's a good service.
When it comes to EGS data that is going up lately, well, not surprised and to be fair, I don't give a fuck if they disappear, they point at me calling me "a troll" because I hate their platform and I use one that is more convenient for me, well yeah, fuck them too.

This is the only slide which is not redacted, and there is nothing to learn from it.

DX-3746 is the same, albeit with the titles redacted.

More Japanese are buying Xbox Series console every week thanks to Game Pass. I won't call it a success before seeing hard numbers, but the subscriber base is definitely growing. Most importantly, it has generally positive WOM, a stark difference compared with EGS.

Whoooooo! We Phoenix Wright now, peeps!

So for people who played and maybe finished the game Vane, does it ever get good? Played barely 30 minutes, and it's already boring me. I heard it was made by some former thatgamecompany people, but I really don't see much inspiration here. Where journey is a well thought out game, with excellent controls and level design, this game just throws you into a huge desert playing as a bird with really annoying controls and with no clear instructions (of any kind ) on what to do. journey told you pretty clearly to move towards a visible goal.
Check EGS thread, it's about internal mails and narrative manipulation on social media.
Vane is a game to enjoy thanks to the visuals, if you are not having fun playing the first half-hour, well, sorry to say you won't enjoy it at all. Sadly.

Blizzard has two new leaders as president J. Allen Brack leaves the company
Reshuffle comes amidst the ongoing scrutiny of the company after the Activision Blizzard lawsuit

To all members of the Blizzard Community,
We want to let you know about an important leadership change at Blizzard Entertainment.
Starting today, J. Allen Brack will be stepping down as the leader of the studio, and Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra will co-lead Blizzard moving forward.
Jen joined Blizzard in January as executive vice president of development, where she’s been providing senior development leadership and support to the Diablo and Overwatch franchises. Jen is the former head of Vicarious Visions (which is now part of Blizzard Entertainment).
After many years at XBOX, Mike joined the company in 2019 as the executive vice president and general manager of platform and technology, where he’s been overseeing the evolution of Battle.net and our development services organization.
Jen and Mike have more than three decades of gaming industry experience between them. Moving forward, they will share responsibilities over game development and company operations.
Both leaders are deeply committed to all of our employees; to the work ahead to ensure Blizzard is the safest, most welcoming workplace possible for women, and people of any gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or background; to upholding and reinforcing our values; and to rebuilding your trust. With their many years of industry experience and deep commitment to integrity and inclusivity, Jen and Mike will lead Blizzard with care, compassion, and a dedication to excellence. You’ll hear more from Jen and Mike soon.
The following is a message from J. Allen Brack:
“I am confident that Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra will provide the leadership Blizzard needs to realize its full potential and will accelerate the pace of change. I anticipate they will do so with passion and enthusiasm and that they can be trusted to lead with the highest levels of integrity and commitment to the components of our culture that make Blizzard so special.”
Finally, thank you all for being a part of the Blizzard community, and for your passion and determination for safety and equality for all.

I wonder if we'll find out how many players and how much money WOW has been losing? I don't think the last couple of weeks' news will have impacted their earnings that much just yet. I'd expect to see bigger impact in the next report but i may be wrong.
Firing J Allen Brack is fine, seems like he may yet be implicated in some of the grossness from the lawsuit, but Kotick and Activision leadership is where the real rot is. Tons of ex-Republican president aides and horrible people. They should all be stepping down too.
Acti is rotten to the core. Firing a handful of people won't help. Otherwise how would you explain men there went to stare at women feeding their babies.
It needs to burn, sadly.

This is me right now.
Buy Death Door ? Buy Grime ? But money doesn't grow on trees ! Stare at backlog. Do nothing.
Play a game from the backlog is always the answer.
And there is no indecision, as I have a backlog spreadsheet that I freely move items up and down based on when I play to play them. The next 5 or so games are always planned out in advance, so as soon as cross one off the list I just move down to the next line.

Uh... Did they get hacked or something, or is this a legit spoof?
Yeah, it's basically the exact same right now. Maybe it'll change when the actually roll out that Win32 stuff, who knows.According to several people on Reddit and Era, the "improved" windows store in Windows 11 is still using the same locked down folders for games than the current store in Windows 10. This means still no file access, modding, pcgamingwiki fixes or whatever.
What a huge disappointment, especially since Microsoft is charging €70 for their games on Steam and bought a shitload of my favorite devs.
Bruh wait a minute, Solitaire!? It's 'bout time Gamepass became good.
Spreadsheets are no joke

I usually don't post low discount deals but seeing that Grime was on topic today and that it was recently released well, I might make an exception to the rule.
GRIME -32% - €14.19 - Using discount code "ALLYOUCANPLAY"

Just released for all you sidewalk surfing cube gleamers.
I've had Starmancer on the wishlist, so that's a nice surprise. Just decent week otherwise.
Man I wish I had the mental will to finish lots of games. Sometimes I just stare at my computer for weeks on end.

Lots of good stuff:
- Carto (Humble publisher & Game Pass),
- Nowhere Prophet (No More Robots publisher & Game Pass),
- Superliminal (EGS exclusive?),
- Bloodstained (anime & Game Pass),
- etc.
Would be a pretty good month if I hadn't already played through Bloodstained and Carto on Game Pass, but as is, Superliminal is the only game there I really want. Probably just gonna pause and hope for a giveaway.Humble Choice for August 2021 is up:

Hmmmm... I'm interested in a few of the games, but since they have good regional pricing it's not worth it for me.
And of course, once again, I already own the "headliner" game, Bloodstained, but haven't played it yet...

Oh wow, in for Bloodstained. Been wanting to play it since launch and it still hasn't dropped below 20$.
