I honestly don't think there's anything exclusive to Xbone that I really want to play

Honestly, I haven't even played a game on my Xbone made specifically for it. Most of it was just Master Chief Collection and Rare Replay, which in all fairness are pretty great collections. All the games I ended up buying for it were stuff that were backwards compatible OG Xbox and 360 games like Lost Odyssey and Prey

That image has always been stupid and dishonest, un-disillusion yourself.

[Quote Starts]

This is a picture that you probably saw at least once whenever there was discussion about boycotting some game for whatever reason. And the reason for that is probably pretty obvious if you take a look at the picture and read several words on it. As you can see the title of this Steam group contains "boycott Modern Warfare 2". However, from 36 accounts there are a total of 19 people playing Modern Warfare 2 even though they are in a group that calls to boycotting said game. So this is more than 50% of the people breaking that boycott. Oh snap! Playing hot new game > principles, q.e.d! Gotcha!

But wait. What if we take a closer look at the picture? Might there be more to this picture than the obvious?

Let's take a look at this part of the picture:

As you can see, the entire group is bigger than the 36 people shown in the picture. We might not even see the full first site of group members. And there are 16 more pages to go through. And what you might need to know that when checking Steam groups the people in-game are prioritized so the people not playing any game or are offline are on other pages (Though you can see on this picture that it doesn't always work totally properly)

Does that mean that only these 19 people of 833 were playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 at the time? Probably not. There are undoubtedly more people that played it despite being in the group. It could very well be possible that people in the group not in this picture all played Modern Warfare 2 at the time. However, this picture doesn't show it.

The reason I made this is because I see this picture posted on twitter and in threads to prove a point that boycotts proclaimed by people in gaming communities are null and void, when in fact this picture proves nothing. It shows a tiny part of a bigger picture and only the part it wants you to see. And it is still kind of baffling to me that people fall for this almost 10 years later.

So please, don't use this picture anymore to prove anything regarding boycotts in the gaming industry.

Thank you, this is genuinely good to know

Zaphod42: Sep 13, 2012; If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

Ugh, everybody dogpiling some indie developers because their game looks like cuphead really grinds my gears.

Most of these people probably don't even like cuphead but they're still gonna poo poo on these indie devs.

You have any idea how much effort animation like that takes??

I loathe the belief so many have that the "idea" means you deserve millions of dollars. Its so toxic. Ideas are cheap. Everybody has ideas. Implementation is everything!

All fps games used to be called doom clones.

I think it's more that both the aesthetic and gameplay are basically identical. Either one or the other wouldn't have raised any eyebrows.

It clearly took a lot of effort and talent to make but it's just a bizarre thing to do.

when will this poor indie game be judged not by the content of its creatively bankrupt art style, which looks like �shittier cuphead�, but by the merits of its gameplay alone, which looks like �shittier cuphead�

The idea is fine but the animations are very much 1 to 1 on cuphead. Specifically the two playable characters.
