Could be market share. More PSN accounts than Nintendo and Xbox in competition.
Just to play devil’s advocate here.
But I’m with you, either selling data or both of these.

Leopards ate my face, anyone?
Don’t be surprised when the dog you’ve been training to be vicious comes back to bite you too.
I had GamePass for a few years and just canceled last month. I barely used it anymore except for Minecraft and Halo Infinite and don’t play those anymore. I might even own Minecraft and have forgotten.
But then I signed back up for Nintendo Online because my girlfriend and her son just got Switches and we play Animal Crossing together. But it’s not as much as GamePass so not that big of a deal.
But I’m sick of subscriptions for shit I don’t even use. Everything nowadays has to be a subscription for no reason. Nintendo doesn’t even provide anything of valuable for theirs since I can’t even talk over it. I’m just paying for what used to be free on their past consoles.
I’m imaging the alternative timeline:
Will Smith is Neo in The Matrix and it doesn’t do well and is the only entry in the series.
Keanu Reeves stars in The Wild Wild West and it ends up being a well received movie and spans 2 sequels and an anime spinoff and a 4th sequel nearly 20 years later that isn’t as well received.
Wonder what these sequels would have been like.
They’re kind of working on one device that is basically smaller than an Apple TV and will connect to your TV and is thought to be strictly for streaming games and nothing more. Essentially would be this since you have no storage or resources for locally stored game playing.
This small device was seen on a shelf in a live stream a few years ago and there were some other rumors surrounding it.
If you didn’t buy up studios and then close them in a year, I think that would be even better for the business side of things. You know, the fact the business didn’t get arbitrarily shut down by the big corporation and all that.
But that’s just me.
Oh wonderful! For all of our users that use VPN, we’re just screwed. Glad we began blocking access from non-Windows computers 😊
They do in more quiet ways nowadays. Microsoft Office and GamePass, for example, can only be used on Windows (unless you count the cloud versions that work through the browser).
Then there’s workplaces which most workplaces use Windows. You cannot escape it there.
My workplace is in the process of locking down remote work to where you can’t use Linux for anything anymore. I was looking for a way to remote in using Linux so I could ditch my Windows devices but even that is not going to be an option for me. Defender is enabling that type of stuff more easily in the name of security.
Think of all the money Nintendo lost over people playing that custom content that was paying homage to their beloved titles! Man, sure glad Nintendo scared them into taking those down.
The hair is the giveaway for me. Though I may not have noticed it unless I was looking for something.
Whoever chose Ubisoft to head this project was an idiot.
Not sure about mobile apps, but I believe you could do this through Google Translate. In Google Translate, I have inserted the site’s URL there and it shows me the site and translates all language it can into my own language so I can browse as if it were designed for my language.
I’m sure they realize when they receive checks from those companies to keep these laws from being enacted.
Not low enough. Keep dropping well below $0 where it truly belongs.
IIRC, first time setup with the Xbox requires internet connection.
When you buy a CD game, you still have to download part of it from the internet. The game will begin downloading and then can let you play when it reaches a certain percentage and continues downloading the rest of the game.
I’m not sure about the Xbox, but other consoles have required certain updates for the console’s OS. I remember this being a thing with the PSP and PS3, in particular. Trying to stay on 3.55 for PS3 was a dream for many because it was hackable but some games required a higher OS version and the game couldn’t be played until the workaround was found to spoof an OS update.
That or something with a contract with Microsoft to be exclusive to the Xbox, barring it even from releasing on Windows. Or both.
Microsoft wanted the Xbox to succeed and guaranteeing exclusives, especially a sequel from SEGA from their previous console for a game that had some popularity, would be a step in guaranteeing that. If the game were also released on PS2 and GameCube and even Windows, it would have hurt the Xbox from players who wanted to play JSRF.
I used to play online but I don’t remember meeting any toxic players in this game, to be honest. Even enemy ships were civil, as far as just warring with my ship because that’s what pirates do in a pirate game and it was legitimately fun even when I would lose my ship in a battle.
I’d sometimes meet random people and start a crew and we’d just sail around and do quests together, getting loot.
But even with that, I always hoped for a private server just so I could sail around with my brother or any other close friend who wanted to play, just the small group of us. Plenty of PvE stuff in the world to do without needing other players in the world.
Wait, is it really bigger than Starfield??
It’s a shame it comes from Ubisoft because I’m sick of their business practices and their shitty launcher on PC. Have to log in to verify after hours of playing with an active connection that I bought the damn game, even years after buying it.
I’ll pirate it if I can. Otherwise, fuck it.
It was mainly around Ubisoft’s The Crew as the latest conversation. This was about a month ago.
Ubisoft took the game offline and also removed from customers’ digital libraries with a message suggesting they try the newer installments in the series instead of the game they paid for.
