plus everybody and their sister uses skype or discord anyway instead of integrated chat clients so why bother putting any effort toward them?

BIGFOOT EROTICA posted:the original xbox was p good considering what it was competing against. xbox live was far and away the best for console gaming two points here: [*] xbox live charged money for something that was always free and which largely didn't cost MS anything (most multiplayer games required no servers, were P2P). they promised Xbox Live would cover all online costs, specifically when it came to MMO games, but when MMO games came out they charged additional monthly fees anyway. games shipped with locked DLC on the disk, and paying through Xbox Live simply unlocked things already there in full, another thing they promised wouldn't happen. they promised games wouldn't be released unfinished as well, and now we have early access, but that was not during the Xbox Original generation. despite this cash-grab, the xbox lost billions. [*] the xbox 360 design was outsourced to a company that build it in that weird bone shape, which put stress on the motherboard and cause the RROD epidemic, costing billions. it likely wiped out the profit of this generation for MS. excursions into motion control also fell flat with consumers despite the bundling strategy that moved a lot of Kinect units that went largely unused. Sony has also had many more failures than they get credit for. not only the PS3 launch, but the PS Move, PS Vita, Vita TV, PS Now and PSVR have all failed to get as much traction as desired. considering Sony's background and the success of PlayStation, they should have the leverage to execute on these things. that's probably why there's been the shake up of the executive recently.

that reminds me, the PSP was probably a success, but the UMD standard for videos obviously was not and was discontinued. just another Playstation effort that is forgotten to time.

also unrelated to what you just said but i just remembered that the ps3 used the "spiderman" font for its logo/branding. does it still use that font in the newer systems

Sony owns the Spider-man film and apparently game rights and was able to release a Spider-man game completely independent of the films, which helped make it actually good. I don’t think they still use the font, no, but the abbreviated PS4 is at least pretty close.

also has anyone else been seeing weird scaling issues lately on systems with multiple monitors with different DPIs? wonder if some recent update hosed that up. "how do you get multiple moniotrs w/ differnt dpi" easy just hook a surface pro/book up to a 1080p external monitor

that’s a funny story but windows lies about it’s version to all applications that don’t have a manifest that says the application is aware of that windows version

i presume that the number 9 tests poorly in some way somewhere (supposedly unlucky in china, but a fair few numbers are if you believe the internet), so it gets skipped both for iphones and windowses

microsoft's handling of DPI is absolutely terrible and always has been as far as I know. connect one of those new surface laptop things to a decent monitor and it's a loving mess dragging anything between the two screens, even with microsoft products like office
