   Apparently, leaked Phil Spencer e-mail. Writes in an email about how AAA games are the biggest cancer killing video games and how it's unsustainable and how making smaller games and newer IPs is the way forward for the games industry

     But in the same e-mail he's arguing the game pass lmao
     
     Subscription services are not the true future and in a way, Netflix absolutely fucked the TV show industry too. Game Pass is awful for the industry and it's just gonna lead to more shitty subscription services and possibly even more massive microtransaction nickel and diming. It "works" for the mobile industry because the mobile retards refuses to put a fucking 1$ game. It only works for mobile because the app stores are a fucking disaster

     @coolboymew You can see this being acted on in gamepass, smaller studios being able to create something unique.
     This years Hi-Fi Rush is a great example of something that would have never gotten approved for a 200 million dollar budget but did extremely well on gamepass and got great reviews

     @ocean game pass is pretty bad for the industry however

     @ocean no, it's bad for consumer too because we'll eventually get a video subscription thing where there will be like hundreds of them and you have to juggle multiple services
     
     It also accelerates the end of physical games for consoles and accelerate the streaming only bullshit. That's very bad because instead of chasing game prototypes in the future people will have to chase the literal fucking game because we will lose tons of games that will never re-release

     @coolboymew@shitposter.club it's also that scale doesn't make a better game.
     
     Furi is quite small with just 10 bosses and linear, fixed camera angle walks inbetween, yet each moment is more memorable and polished than 99% of cyberpunk. It's really beautiful too..

     >I don't know if that will be allowed to happen because at the end of the day Nintendo/Sony/Xbox control what is or isn't allowed on their consoles
     
     It doesn't need to be console only. Obviously the consoles being the big things kinda puts some limitations into that, but that still means subscription services for the big three and I don't know many more for PCs. I still don't see it being any beneficial for the industry in the end, we'll go back to the current video streaming situation
     
     Netflix may have killed cable TV, which sucks, but it couldn't stay the only game in town forever because the model doesn't actually benefit non-netflix parties making content just for Netflix, it's not sustainable, hence why there's a billions of these now and they're churning out shitty content after shitty content in hope you'll jump in
     
     None of this is sustainable in the slightest and something has to be done to fix it and the ideal result would be purchase episodes to own a la MP3, DRM free

     Yeah this seriously sucks, but right now we are living in a time where they both coexist, which is nice

     I mean, I agree with you but

     I think the box is already open though. There are people who are gonna buy starfield on disk for 70$ but 90% are gonna just play it on gamepass

     @coolboymew Honestly I'd be all for more games like Hi-Fi Rush in the future. Compared to massive titles like Starfield it's so much more focused and polished.

     @coolboymew a lot of aaa games are delivered unfinished today, and don't do what was promised in trailers and announcements this is imo a major problem, and they did/do this to themself. I no longer preorder any game because of this.
     on the other side there are a few aaa games that go beyond expectation. my favourite example here is doom eternal. it has excellent gameplay, all mechanics fit together perfectly. it sold well in a time where many thought the single player fps genre was dead.
     good aaa games still have a future imo, but there are a lot of bad aaa games.

     @r000t I have no idea wtf he's talking about for Fortnight, however "Fortnite began from an internal game jam at Epic Games following the publishing of Gears of War 3 around 2011"
     
     However, for Dota2, he probably means the idea comes from a Warcraft 3 mod

     @coolboymew I'm so out of the loop, I don't pay attention but I know there's VR games and stuff now, I'm sure all that great tech with lots of potential will be gimped to shit before being made widely available. It looked like it already happened with the oculus when fb bought it. Quality will be there for those who have the money for it, but for everyone else we get stuck with gimped retarded shit. What pisses me off is really the economics of today. Robber Barons, we have advanced and modernized in every way so far besides acknowledging that Robber Barrons and their descendents must part with their wealth which they have accumulated through theft, forgery, bribes, fraud, etc., until they do the masses will never have powerful pcs and everything will be gimped to run on them and studios will have no incentives to deliver on their promises that most of the world wouldn't be about to afford to run anyway.
