I don’t know why, but I freaking love simple/arcade golf games. Surprised Golf wasn’t available already, but I’ll definitely be playing!
Delisting always sucks, but it looks like they’re at least doing what they’ve done for previous Forza titles: still available to play if you bought it digitally or physically, and if you played on Game Pass but bought DLC they’ll send you a free copy of the base game itself.
Microsoft is a terrible company, but at least they treat their back catalogue with some degree of respect. I just wish Sony cared more.
It’s definitely making their job harder on the face of it, but it also differentiates them from other ad companies, so I guess they’re betting on that being a draw for potential clients.
Advertising isn’t going anywhere, so investing in/supporting ways to more ethically serve ads without harvesting private data seems like a good thing?
what usually gets lost on people is how Mac tended to have had things first, like everything has Bluetooth now, but Mac OSX had it long before Windoze did
That's just not true - in fact, Apple is well-known for repeatedly releasing 'new' products/features that already existed elsewhere, but acting like they invented it. That goes all the way back to the original Macintosh.
Or, to use your example, everything I can find says MacOS added Bluetooth support in 2004, while Windows XP was patched to support Bluetooth in 2002.
MacOS is good software, but let's not pretend Apple hasn't built their entire empire based on pinching other people's ideas and marketing them better.
Nothing lower than a C-?
Hopefully it'll be an improvement on Force Commander
Can you imagine if Rembrandt had an executive committee behind him dictating what to paint a picture of
I get what you're saying, but you realise all the great renaissance painters worked on commission, right? So yes that's exactly what happened.
Start paying attention to the top new & trending Spotify playlists in genres you're interested in.
What monopoly? Xbox holds the smallest share of the console market.
I don't disagree with the sentiment, but I don't see even a single mention of cloud gaming in the article?
This is about studio closures and a disconnect between MS's actions and the types of games they say they want.
Mostly agree, except I've never liked the dpad on the 360 controller. An XB1 or Series S|X controller is a noticeable step up IMO!
I think BioShock just got grandfathered in through its System Shock lineage.
Except for all the small studios also struggling or going out of business because getting investment right now is really, really hard.
The megacorp closures and redundancies are far from the entire story, they're just the headline grabbers.
Wow - Take Two shuttering this studio AND Roll7 (OlliOlli, Rollerdrome) just a month after they announced they're buying Gearbox for almost half a billion. Absolutely catastrophic mismanagement. What a shitshow.
Jumping into the Yakuza/Like A Dragon series from a random point would be incredibly confusing because of the storyline.
There are actually 3 good entry points (Yakuza 0, Yakuza 1/Kiwami, or Yakuza 7: Like A Dragon) but couldn't recommend starting outside one of that set.
It's true that most (not all) old games on GOG now are also on Steam, but I do still find the GOG versions are often better configured, sometimes with custom or community patches preinstalled that Steam doesn't include.

There's a little globe icon added in the bottom-right corner of external links, so you know that tapping the thumbnail will open a link rather than an image preview, but in its current form it's hard to see against darker thumbnails.
The posts I've highlighted with arrows in the image are both links, but it's almost impossible to tell.
