An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox

Regarding Xbox

In June 2026 we announced that the release of Big Walk would be limited to computers, Switch 2 and PS5. Since then, we have received many messages and comments, asking about a future Xbox release. We would like to address those questions here:

We have made the decision not to release Big Walk on Xbox, in accordance with the Palestinian-led BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement’s call to boycott Microsoft, and their designation of Microsoft Games (and Xbox) as a priority boycott target. If you need help understanding our motives, we would recommend reading about why Microsoft is a BDS priority target, the successes this kind of pressure has already had on Microsoft, and especially, watching this great introductory piece by People Make Games.

It has always been our intention for Big Walk to be played by groups of friends, and we know that keeping the game off Xbox runs counter to those intentions. This decision means that some people will miss out on playing Big Walk with their friends, and we understand the disappointment we’re causing. We are disappointed too.

We would love for people to be able to play the game on Xbox, but not until Microsoft and/or Xbox have been removed as BDS boycott targets.

We’ve made this decision with the belief that meaningful change can be made in the world, that coordinated collective action can confront even the most powerful interests, and that one day, Palestine will be free.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
House House

Andere oplossing misschien: niet alles aansluiten op het internet? Aanmoedigen om producten die ook zonder het internet werken daar van los te koppelen

I do want to point out one argument you added: "vast majority of people who want to buy it"... wotc is a multinational, e.g. in most of Eurasia the workday is over before the sale starts.

Woah that's a whole array of new arguments unrelated to your post. I'm not defending wotc, I'm highlighting that they are saying sorry for exactly what you highlighted.

sites just have to hire more non-men. It’s unforgivable how few women and nonbinary people are staff writers and editors at major sites, across the board. not just in games but games in particular has a serious problem.

'Charismatisch.' Of: fascistisch, homofoob, racistisch, nationalistisch, etc. etc.? De focus op buitenkant & presentatie onttrekt de politiek aan het zicht. Vanuit deze invalshoek kun je Trump en Hitler ook 'charismatisch' noemen. Is dat werkelijk wat je wilt uitlichten, en niet hun politiek?

I truly feel for kids growing up now who will have to unlearn using AI, but if you've been writing for more than 2 years it is the easiest thing in the world to just Keep Doing The Thing You Did and ignore AI tools!! It makes me feel crazy that people act like this isn't the case!!!

Not just that but Tolkien also said, “Evil cannot create anything new, it can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made.” Sound familiar? 🙄

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

“When I assign analysis, (…) I am trying to put the student’s mind through resistance in order to make it stronger. Offloading the struggle to a chatbot does not “free students up for higher-order work.” It deprives them of building the strength to do any substantial cognitive work at all.”

Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover… they haven’t.

I encourage everyone to read this study. The design tactics built into chatbots are something we haven’t seen before. They build trust, learn intimate details about us and impact how we think, feel & make decisions. The more dependent we become, the harder it is to recognize we’re being exploited.
