I think that is a more reasonable approach.
Mine is they completely ignore how this has already happened with PC Gaming as well as Phones and Tablets. Could you imagine needing a physical media to launch apps or games on your phone? Me neither, nor can the entire market. That is what the new gamers are being raised on. The rest is a dying market, literally.

Iâll never quite understand how the same people can say âYouâll pry my physical discs from my cold dead handsâ and then turn around and talk about how much they love Steam. 
Do they know that PC games used to come on physical discs too? Should someone tell them?

Fortress, the canceled Final Fantasy XII sequel, definitely.

The what ? First time I hear of this.
Scalebound obviously.
All sorts of speculation surrounding the cancellation. Forced multiplayer, misuse of funds, inexperience, etc⌠Then there was the negative reception to previews followed by being loved after it was cancelled. Itâs like a perfect case study on the mishmash of development, marketing, funding, exclusivity, console wars, messaging, just everything.

Looking forward to seeing all the people leave who said theyâre quitting gaming once games are only available digitally.

I still think about the cancelled Prey 2 and Star Wars 1313.

A post was split to a new topic: Donkey Kong Bonanza Direct Announced
So Iâm a bit unsure nowâŚ
What do we use this thread mostly for now? Because I have a new article about Jez and the next Xbox in terms of BC. New thread?
Talking about gaming in general but if something is newstory worthy then itâs thread worthy, i.m.o.
Hmm I see, well, this is a rumor at the moment so probably not really thread worthy?

Thatâs reassuring.
Absolutely thread worthy, weâve lost a lot of new members who feel lost in how big these giant megathreads are.

Oh damn. Yeah itâs honestly quite unusual how this stuff was done here compared to well, any forum really, but it became so normal after a while, got used to it. But I also assumed the less activity here, significantly less was because most are on Discord now.
Iâll make a thread.
I find the way Alinea figures out things to seem a bit âsusâ as the kids say. the â20k copies of ff16 on xboxâ story is seemingly extrapolated from how many user reviews the game has on the platform? Really? thatâs âanalyticsâ?
