Same. Not interested in the early access version of 2.

Yeah, true that. I mean I donāt know how far along it is now, but Iām guessing you canāt properly finish the game yet and that IS something I want. When I begin with a game I want it playable until I finish it, like the first one.
Same. I donāt do early access/Game Preview.
They would have to pay me to do testing.

As for Starfieldā¦
I could swear there was word from BGS (or was it Jez, Tom, etc?) that it would be an exciting year for the game. The June show didnāt have it, maybe GC? What are your hopes for it?
I havenāt been on the forum much lately. Iāve been taking a break from gaming for a bit and focusing on reading.
My son gave me a bunch of recommendations for books in the LitRPG, GameLit, and cultivation genres that I have been working through.
I typed up a few recommendations in another thread if anyone is interested. Given all the bad Xbox news of recent weeks I thought a few of you might want a non-Xbox distraction.

Arkane Co-Founder Unloads On Game Pass, Calls It āUnsustainableā
Raphael Colantonio doesnāt hold back his thoughts about Game Pass and his belief that it negatively affects the gaming industry.
which is odd, because he chose to release his new game with his new company, day 1 on Game Pass.

We recently got news the the VA for Sarah Morgan is back in the recording studio. So, itās likely that there were some things they needed to iron out before proceeding with DLC.

We must stop Chaos, live
Right, because the old model that saw many Arkane games not sell well dispite being well recieved certainly worked for him.
Edit: Iām not saying that Game Pass works for everyone, but the old model doesnāt work for everyone either. Because there are so many games coming out that you need to be a break out success to get the mainstream attention. If your game isnāt a massive tentpole game like Doom.

MS a top 3 company in the world, and had 7k layoffs outside of Xbox.
Layoffs and the strength of a company are not always correlated.
People like to continue ignoring that the US President is actively trying to destroy our economy. All these decisions arenāt being made in a vacuum. If things progress the way they look like they will, the recent layoffs will seem quaint.

Also while Xbox hardware and cloud infrastructure might become more expensive (although some has already gone up) MS are better placed than most to get through it given so much of their revenue is digital or services.
Hopefully no one tells the orange gimp that theyāre not included on his tariffs on goods, as the UK company I work for would take a hit too if he ever did (thankfully itād be harder to call it a tariff as clearly it would be a digital services tax so I imagine not as PR friendly to morons).
Apple or others that make a lot from their hardware would feel some pain though - and yes everyone suffers (including worldwide) if he causes a full scale depressionā¦
