@iska @furgar @dushman I'm talking about actual games, not gacha microtransaction trash.

@allison @iska@mstdn.starnix.network @furgar @dushman Xbox might not be the best platform for such trash. I don't know if it still holds true as my Xbox is just sitting in the corner collecting dust, but it used to require Xbox Live Gold subscription to play anything online. So there is no crowd who like to get something for free, but can be lured into paying for something later. Not the right environment for all this microtransaction bullshit.

@m0xee @iska @furgar @dushman Xbox isn't the best environment for anything really. All the microtransaction whales are on mobile, all the AA and indie enthusiasts are on Switch and PC, Japanese game enthusiasts on Switch and PS4. Sad thing too is that Microsoft actually dominated the 7th gen with the 360 and had all their goodwill *instantly* squandered by the One announcement (with very good reason imo), and they haven't managed to recover since.

@allison I don't think it was that bad on launch, Halo 5 was pretty good as was the Halo "remaster" and Halo Wars 2 later. You could still play Doom and Witcher on it. But yes, MS is consistent in killing off things that could work. The idea that you could run apps with the same code base on a phone, on your laptop and on Xbox was very appealing. But then… First they've pulled the plug on W10M, then Xbox becomes a little stale and they do nothing about it. And SUDDENLY no one needs UWP anymore 😆
