Makes sense, MS along with Apple and Amazon are the only companies to surpass 1 trillion in market cap.

Sony can't compete with that especially with Google now entering the market. Xbox is a tiny part of MS while Playstation is a huge part of Sony, they can't afford as a company to lose any slice of the games pie to new competitors.

This comes off as a necessity for Sony, and just an opportunity for MS.

Huh. I always thought waypoint was already a part of Vice....

Didn't they start at Vice.com/games?

I'm a project manager and often hire contractors when project demands ramp up.

Everything in the first post is just business, you are a contractor, and you shouldn't feel you earned a full-time job just because you worked your full contract. We also boasts about not having to layoff people during downturns during full time interviews due to us being able to cut contract work and take care of our full time employees. Honestly if you don't like it don't apply or accept contract jobs, if you don't like the $12/hr you signed up for...don't accept the job.

Like most decisions it was data driven. The Game modes weren't as popular as you thought they were and having matchmaking services for 3 game modes as opposed to one wasn't worth it.

Anything published by Sony, it's a long list just google it.

Out off all the gaming companies MS seems to be in the best spot for the future. MS has server banks all over the world that will allow them to implement this streaming stuff the fastest and most effectively.

I don't think anyone else has this infustrure in place, so they would need to build from the ground up. Or partner with a MS or Google type company to get the streaming future started

This game reminds me so much of Agents of Mayhem, which is also on Games Pass btw. It's OK, Crackdown 3 really generates no strong reaction from me either way. Just a really bland game, however, I like it better than AoM.

AC: Origins has a huge chunk of the southern map just rocks and desert.

I really liked that area though since it made the world feel more real and not extremely hand crafted where every thing has/needs a purpose.

Rico from Killzone.

Also the two kids from Lost Odyssey were pretty annoying.

Honestly, every big company should just be using their store fronts. If they have the infrastructure set up to support having their own launchers why put it on Steam and pay Valve some % of game sales. Sure we will have to double click on a separate icon on our desktop to play different games but I think we will all get used to it.
