A lot of people think Microsoft is going to sunset Xbox, but honestly that rumor is being spread on social media by people who have a really bad track record for rumors.

Xbox probably isn't gonna immediately get sunsetted, but it's likely to be on a decline and IMHO between all this and then exiting physical games it seems more like a matter of when, not if.

The (seemingly) substantiated part of the rumour is that they're going full third-party with no exclusives at all, which basically undermines the entire reason the Xbox exists.

Yeah bailing on retail is the alarm for me but I don't think Xbox the brand is going, it's just going to look different.

Does that not mean they will rely on Game Pass being offered on Xbox (and PC) only? So even if Xbox has no exclusives, for just $X per month owners will have access to a library of games that are not part of PlayStation Plus. If you don't want to buy their console, fine, but you'll pay a premium for those games.

A lot more people are fine with buy-to-own than you might think. Actually a not insignificant number of people who buy PC games on Steam despite being on Game Pass simply because the Game Pass app on Windows is too dogshit (e.g. can misfire and lock the game's install size on your drive in a way that isn't recoverable without a total reformat). But it's probably likely Game Pass is continuing in roughly its current form, whatever changes they have planned.

Xboxes are sold at a loss, so it's not clear that it's worth it to sell expensive machines to people just to sell subscriptions to something that may or may not be sustainable and/or profitable in the long term. "If you don't buy our console, you'll pay a premium for the games" isn't that good of a proposition for Microsoft when they'd make more money on the game than on the console.

Yeah, I didn't mean to say it is a good business strategy. But with strong enough titles, who knows.

Starfield was on Game Pass and still ranked in the best selling games of the year list so yeah I think a lot of people have done the maths and figure if they're only interested in one Microsoft game they think will be a long term thing buying it on Steam is still cheaper than however long they sub to Game Pass for to play it. I personally just use Game Pass like a rental service for Microsoft first party, and I'm probably not the only one given how many people even in the Xbox thread say they subbed for a month just to see how Starfield was. Also yes the Game Pass app is dogshit and has lost my progress in multiple games, which is probably part of why I never stay subbed to it for very long.

Sephiroth's shoes, now that's a horse of a different color. I like my Sephiroth in cutscenes and boss fights, this sounds like a wild development.

I hope they play One Winged Angel at all times when playing as the dark lord Sephiroth, the unholy knight of disco metal.

Ooh. So close to 'new' Final Fantasy!

I'm seeing a bundle for Rebirth and Remake Integrade for 80 euros, which is tempting.
I've played the remake on ps4, so I haven't seen the Yuffie expansion.
Is Remake integrade just the Yuffie dlc or is it the full remake+Yuffie?

Full remake + Yuffie, and I believe you can go straight to Yuffie since its its own thing. Its basically the PS5/PC version of Remake.

For clarities sake, Yuffie is just a dlc mini chapter in the game and you can skip to that chapter if you want. She isn't present in any other part of the game.

Not all USB ports are created equal and will trickle charge your poo poo instead of just throwing all the power at them.
