Apparently the windows store is complete garbage is its overseen by the head of the Windows department who doesnt give much of a poo poo. Phil getting promoted and gaming being its own division means its possible things like that will get unfucked*.

It's not a TRUE exclusive, and therefore let me justify my existing opinions with that.

In closing, something about Bloodbourne or The Last Of Us or Uncharted or something who cares.

Microsoft just needs to give up on Windows gaming altogether, they make excellent consoles but their PC effort is so lackluster and somehow has gotten even worse since their GFWL days. I always get the impression that they feel intimidated and out of their depth going up against Steam and Origin, and it shows through their tame and submissive Windows gaming storefront.

Why the gently caress does only NHL let you spectate from the bench/sideline when youre doing a season as one specific player and you arent in? I swear madden doesnt even let you spectate defense at all if you're playing an offense guy.

It's pretty much the second one, honestly.

At this point I doubt it can just be exclusively about actual Xbox stuff due to the well being made up almost entirely of poison, honestly.

He's not entirely wrong, but is wrong in that the important parts of the always-online DRM (the one-time product key system with trade-in limits) aren't happening.

Where he's right is that it seems the Xbox One X is going to have pretty beefy extra asset downloads (which you won't have a choice on downloading if you have a One X) for 4K Textures and the like. With Fallout 4 on PC, their optional download for this is 57 gigs by itself (on top of the game itself). There's also the problem where games are requiring patch downloads to be "complete", Forza 7 requiring a sizeable patch for this.

Like the games "work" if you're offline but it sounds like on Xbox One X you'll be playing with limited graphical detail (and thus will have largely wasted your money) and in the case of Forza 7, certain content will be missing (this is also technically true with other games but I think in all those cases it's online-only stuff which makes a bit more sense that a patch would be imposed). Depending on how you like your conspiracy theories, it could very much be "testing the waters" for future digital distribution. It'll be interesting to see if any Bonx games will work fully offline with the retail disc, or will always require a patch download to get the 4K assets.
