The perennial speculation that Microsoft is exiting the console market is flaring up again. This time, it’s being driven not just by Xbox’s market share, but by moves on Microsoft’s part that some people find suspicious. Bringing its first party content over to Playstation and, to an extent, Nintendo platforms and its moves to unite Windows Gaming with Xbox have people concerned that Xbox is just going to be a PC launcher from the next hardware gen on. This didn’t do anything to quell those concerns.
Microsoft says that it isn’t happening, but of course they would. They still want to sell units in this hardware cycle.

I know ya’ll heard about the Kingdom Come: Deliverance II drama at the moment. I’m here to tell you:
Don’t be too worried boys, I sincerely doubt it’s “gone woke”.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance was famous for being an unapologetically faithful depicition of life in Medieval Bolivia
They were straight up like:
“Well of COURSE there are no black people in this game! Black people weren’t living in Bolivia back then!”
By contrast: homosexuality has been around - for better or worse - since before recorded history. So until you hear rumours of random African NPCs, I wouldn’t be too concerned. Knowing the devs, this is probably part of some subplot or quest to have them executed for sodomy.
Keep in mind that Warhorse Studios is full of devs who left CD Projekt Red because of the woke garbage now pervasive in that company…I sincerely doubt they did that only to support what they ran away from in the first place.

There are forces within the AAA space that are drooling for GTA6 to normalize up to $100 as the base price for Western games. There are still going to be the premium, deluxe, and higher packages after that, of course. If other companies that don’t have ‘Grand Theft Auto 6’ on the cover try to get in on that, Asian devs will swiftly bury them.

Not two weeks after getting a new Japanese CEO, Sony fires an unknown number of Californians. Hopefully this is a sign that the company is going back to being entertainment focused.
