See you in 3 years when the whole team is cut. You know, for not making any money.
IDK, MS really went all the way with backwards compatibility. They literally built emulators for the 360 and OG Xbox in order to let people play old games using old disks they already owned.
I’d be shocked if they didn’t stay committed to this.
I hope I’m wrong but companies are about cutting good ideas for short term gains.
The Series S doesn’t have a disk drive.
The rumored Series X refresh doesn’t have a disk drive.
It’d be hard for Microsoft to remain committed to game preservation in that way without them.
To me, this sounds more like they’re looking at Nintendo’s virtual store playbook and wondering how many times they can sell the same games to their customer base.
Series X refresh isn’t a rumor, and it doesn’t have a disk drive. Microsoft also laid off their physical media dept entirely.
They could stand to make a bunch of money reselling old games with 4k, vrr, HDR, and calling it remastered.
They could which sounds like this team or they can make do the GTA route and make a masterpiece again.
Consumer friendly products? What is going on?
They are loosing to Sony so they have to find new ways of competing for business. You know, how it’s supposed to work.
Wish it worked that way more often.
You know what, this makes me so happy that I’ll give ‘em that:
“Good job capitalism!”
Now I got to go wash my fingers for typing that.
But just remember that during the 360/PS3 era when MS were in the lead, it was Sony trying to by all consumer friendly, advocating online cross play and having free online service.
MS weren’t interested then.
irony is they’re closing the 360 online store this year
It was still running?!
Nintendo wondering if she’s stupid

Nintendo probably thinks the team will be dedicated to stopping emulation. Games must be preserved in their original platforms after all /s.
Yuzu! Fuck nintendo
Should…should we tell Squizzy?

Pong is over 50. For that matter, Tennis for Two is coming up on 70.

I am wondering if her father is called James.
Forward compatibility? I get backward compatibility, but FORWARD compatibility?
It’s future backward compatibility.
I think that just means not making any crazy technological decisions that will likely make games incompatible on future hardware. A great example was the PS3’s cell processor. It was excellent tech when used properly, but absolutley not “forward compatible”
