Yeah that's totally why it was allowed a 10-year development and not "We were the racing game devs, why'd they make us do this oh god help this is gonna take forever" If Fable is "vital to the DNA of the platform" then all that really states is that Xbox's RPG slate is utterly miniscule.

*Man partly responsible for the games industry being in the worst state it's been in 40 years:* "Yeah it's awful... Oh also AI's super cool and can suck my own dick for me guys, there's just so much economic opportunity in it!" Thanks, Tim Sweeney. You contemptable morass of a human being, you.

Any time someone argues the PS3/360 isn't retro they should have to post a popular meme of the time sincerely. Do it. See how that makes you feel.

i get why ppl do not like that both 8.0 raids are collabs. i fully understand. it is a bummer to not have one be original content. i do think people acting like the ffxiv line between homage and collab isnt insanely blurry is a little funny. what would you consider return to ivalice.

Looking at the discourse of "Oh a FF7 crossover, it's the 'break glass in case of low subs' moment because of how sucks Dawntrail was" is one thing Looking at the other side of the negativity being "I hate this because it's not more world building" is like... How d'you know that it won't be?

The timing of this kind of press is intentional. How are they going to make these games when Bethesda and Obsidian collectively laid off hundreds? Don’t fall for it.

Sage of Hawkes, Hilda Appreciator @thewyseman.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Given that they already had Obsidian making Avowed 1+2 instead of making a Pillars of Eternity 3 shortly after BG3 started selling like hot cakes, I really don't think Xbox would've bothered regardless of who's helming the proverbial Ship That Stays Afloat Despite Being Capsized And Half Underwater

You're getting another Obsidian Fallout game that's going to be even more rushed and crunched while under Microsoft

I thought we were past the point of "the fidelity is so so good look at the water" This is a remake of an iconic FPS from 2001, who the fuck gives a toss if the "wAvEs ArE rEaLlY jAw-DrOpPiNg"? Like sure, I can't wait to see how well they fucking UNDULATE on all these modern systems Or not at all

Why would Sarah Bond trick Microsoft into selling Xbox? I mean she's clearly the reason for every bad decision Xbox made over the last... hang on... *checks how long Phil Spencer was in a leadership position at Xbox* ...twelve years! Truly her evil schemes predate even her joining Xbox in 2017!

Sage of Hawkes, Hilda Appreciator @thewyseman.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

The real question is, how can they pin the blame on Sarah Bond somehow when they actually do shut down Ninja Theory or whoever's on the chopping block It's absolutely gotta be someone who had a game shown in the Showcase last Sunday
