Thoughts on the Microsoft Third Party news?
I mean if Xbox is getting to be a big enough brand that people are raising questions of whether or not exclusivity means monopoly, then yeah, spreading more of your games out across multiple platforms makes legal sense.
More and more of the game industry is regrettably going to be moving in the direction of "account ecosystem" rather than hardware platform. Years ago there was talk about how one day there would be no Xbox or Playstation console, just an Xbox or Playstation App you launch on something like a Roku.
The final disgusting endpoint in all of this "no more sales, just service" drive. No discs, not even local data, just a monthly streaming subscription. Forever. No ownership, no ability to mod games, no way to play offline.
Even in the best case scenario, we're looking at a Netflix where you stream 90% of what you play and only "buy" the 10% of games you truly love.
The only thing that flies in the face of that is, like, Steam. The state of movie ownership is what it is because Netflix got there first. The streaming arm of Netflix is the entire reason the "Hollywood Streaming Industry" exists right now. It predates Prime Video, it predates Tubi, it predates everything.
Fewer people probably remember this, but the original premise of Hulu was to get TV networks signed on to simulcast their newest shows online, because none of them were doing that yet. "Netflix Instant" (the original name for Netflix streaming) even predates that. Hulu was trying to fill a need that Netflix could not because Netflix did not actually stream TV shows at first. Not even syndicated rerun stuff. It was just movies. Streaming Seinfeld or The Simpsons or The Office was just outright impossible.
Netflix got in there and shifted the direction of an entire industry, before borders had been staked out or consumers had built up substantial libraries they were protective of. So we went from VHS to DVD to Blu-ray to Streaming, where "Streaming" usually means a subscription service and not any form of ownership.
But that's not the case with games. Users expect backwards compatibility, they expect their libraries to carry forward, and in some cases people may own hundreds or even thousands of games in a digital library. I know on the Xbox 360, I own at least $200 worth of digital games, because I won a sweepstakes specifically for a $200 Xbox gift card. And my 19 year old Steam account will gladly tell the entire world I own over 1600 PC games.
Tumblr media
That's just on Steam! Epic is still always giving away free games (200+), GOG is occasionally giving away free games and holding sales where you can get stuff for a couple bucks, etc. etc. etc. It's like the warehouse of mythical items from Indiana Jones over here.
Tumblr media
People own gigantic libraries of digital games they expect to keep and willingly modify in perpetuity. It's a lot harder to push people to stream everything off the cloud as a result. It's why the big selling point for game streaming is "No downloads!" and it's why it's struggling to catch on. Sure, a 100gb+ game is huge, but if I take my download limiters off, it doesn't actually take that long. A 90 minute download for a 30+ hour game seems like a pretty fair exchange, all told.
But Microsoft is still going all-in on "account ecosystem." It's like, think of it this way: every game publisher is in a constant war to have the one big holiday game that everybody buys. And for guys like Microsoft, that one big game a year is their primary moneymaker. If they can get everyone to spend at least $60 on their game once a year, they stay in business.
Game Pass is $60 a year. They side step having to put out that holiday season's biggest game and get to say, "Well for the price of one game, you can get access to an entire library." It changes the perspective on so much of their business model. Suddenly they don't need the big flagship holiday blockbuster, they just need to get more people to pay for Game Pass.
And the ultimate end goal there is probably to get Game Pass in as many places as they can. There's already a PC Game Pass. If they can launch some version of Game Pass for Playstation? Game Pass for Switch? They'll do it. The Xbox almost doesn't matter anymore. The subscription and the ecosystem does. It's why Microsoft rebooted the Xbox app on PC a few years ago -- it used to be a "Companion App" for your console, but now the Xbox App on PC is where all of their PC gaming and Game Pass stuff lives. Xbox isn't hardware anymore, it's a service you subscribe to, and that's where the real money is. Especially considering what a gigantic money pit hardware is; I don't think Microsoft has ever, even once, turned a profit on Xbox hardware (and neither has Sony, as far as I know).
Get rid of the need for hardware and that $60/year looks even sweeter, doesn't it? Especially when you start to consider that something like Game Pass Ultimate is actually $180/year. If you can lure people in on the $60 but upsell them to the $180... well, gosh, that's almost the price of a whole new console every year, isn't it? That's a lot of constant cashflow without needing the years and years of deeply expensive research, development, and manufacturing.
Getting people to spend a console's worth of money on your service without actually needing the console itself is massively desirable. They'd be saving millions, if not billions of dollars while making millions more elsewhere. There's a chart out there some executive is drooling over where a line goes straight up by something like 900%.
The only problem is the whole consumer rights/ownership factor. Which I am not a fan of. I objectively refuse to support Game Pass for what it's obvious goals are. I will buy and own every game I want to play. No compromises. I will buy physical if space and money allows. I will not be bled dry by temporary access.

So, there’s this game that no one’s talking about. It’s called Murder by Numbers. It was released two years ago, and it’s kinda basically Ace Attorney and picross combined. You get to—you guessed it—solve murders! And with a trusty cute robot companion to boot!
Tumblr media
His name is SCOUT and he is baby.
There are also some lgbt themes in the game; particularly in the third case. Another interesting thing you might want to know is that the person who composed the music for the game, Masakazu Sugimori, also did music for the first two games in the Ace Attorney franchise and Ghost Trick! Not only that, but the character designer is also the creator of Hatoful Boyfriend, Hato Moa!
But anyway, if you love mystery-solving games like Ace Attorney and puzzles, then you’ll definitely like Murder by Numbers! You can get it on Steam, Nintendo Switch, or Stadia. If you can’t play it or would rather just watch it being played, there are good playthroughs of it on YouTube. I would recommend the channel HollowtonesVods. Holly is very entertaining and pretty frickin’ good at voices imo. But, yeah, check it out if you can! :D

So, uhhh... What about Stadia?
Tumblr media
But hey, at least you're still around after Google discontinued the system...
(So much for all of the broken promises Google said Stadia would be the ultimate gaming platform that it couldn't even compete against the other platforms though the concept of it was actually really cool if it was handled the right way.)
(Okay, wow... we have another reveal in the same week with the first being N-Gage who joined us yesterday of which she is already excited but with Stadia, it doesn't seem like it but she still wants to have some fun on here with the others and see what people online have to say about her. ^u^)
(Of course, Stadia is based on the look of the controller as well as the orange and maroon colors of the Stadia logo which go very well with Stadia's appearance above. Don't worry everyone, it may look like she's unhappy because of the discontinuation of her system, she's actually a very chill one to hang out with when she's not feeling down.)
(UPDATE PLEASE READ) So there was a small bit of complications on our ends as the mods because it turns out that one of the other mods was supposed to do a picture of Stadia of which I was completely unaware of when I uploaded this picture. Right now, I have to fully figure out all of the pictures I'm planning to do in the future as the other mods figure out theirs. I will be doing more pictures soon to respond to everyone that has sent us messages after everything is planned in a way that I can do some pictures without having two versions of the same picture in the future.

Google Stadia is finally dead. I mean, it's been dead from the start, but Google finally did what Google does best, and put a bullet in the brain of another terminal failure. LOL!

sterek is so gross i'm sorry, it's so uncomfortable and weird like they had no chemistry like that come on 😭😭
no fr like i’m sorry to whoever ships it but when i first found out it was a thing i was like “wtf.”
i’m aware that their age gap isn’t as large as you would think (pretty sure it’s a couple years or something) but the maturity level is SO different between derek and stiles that it’s just so weird as to why you would ship it. it’s like saying that a seventh grade and a sophomore could date. it’s not illegal and it’s fine but the maturity levels between those two grades are vastly different that it makes the relationship incredibly weird 😭
ALSO derek is like a brotherly figure to them, maybe even a fatherly figure to scott? like idk it just feels weird because he’s such a family type guy with them that shipping sterek just makes no sense

The Entertainment Software Association has announced that E3 2023 has been canceled.
The organization announced the cancellation via an email sent out to its members today. The email said that while E3 "remains a beloved event and brand" that the 2023 version "simply did not garner the sustained interest necessary to execute it in a way that would showcase the size, strength, and impact of our industry."
The ESA concludes the email by reiterating its commitment to advocacy work. It does not mention undertaking the show again in future years.
The ESA issued the following public statement from Kyle Marsden-Kish, Global VP of Gaming, ReedPop:
This was a difficult decision because of all the effort we and our partners put toward making this event happen, but we had to do what’s right for the industry and what’s right for E3. We appreciate and understand that interested companies wouldn’t have playable demos ready and that resourcing challenges made being at E3 this summer an obstacle they couldn’t overcome. For those who did commit to E3 2023, we’re sorry we can’t put on the showcase you deserve and that you’ve come to expect from ReedPop’s event experiences.
The press release adds that ReedPop and the ESA will continue to work together on "future E3 events."

I have to wonder, now that Stadia is shutting down and - I guess? - cloud based gaming is basically dead, did Google even want it to succeed? Or was it all just a, "RIP we tried! Guess everyone can go home now!" sort of thing?
I feel like someone somewhere is probably getting a lot of money from Stadia's death.

On October 31st 1903 Hampden Park stadium opened in Glasgow as the home of Queen’s Park Football Club.
Many people don’t know that there was another stadium in Glasgow previously to the one we know now.  The site of the first Hampden Park is now occupied by railway lines and a lawn bowling club named Hampden Bowling Club. It opened on  25th October 1873 and closed 10 years later.  It was  the first enclosed stadium with turnstiles in the country. The original stadium,hosted several Scotland international matches; it was first used on 2 March 1878 for a 7–2 win against England, and a 9–0 win against Wales followed on 23 March.[6] It hosted four more matches, the last being a 5–0 win over Wales on 25 March 1882. It also hosted the first Scottish Cup final which saw Queen's Park beat Clydesdale 2–0.
Hampden was the biggest stadium in the world, with a capacity of more than 100,000, which was further extended in 1927 and 1937 to a peak of 150,000. It would hold this record until 1950 when The Maracanã Stadium in Rio, it held and incredible 199,854 for the final.
Hampden Park at Mount Florida opened for a league game on this day in 1903 Queen's Park defeated Celtic 1–0 , three years late it held it’s first international when Scotland played England in front of a crowd of 102,741 people, which established Hampden as the primary home of the Scotland team.
Attendances continued to increase during the remainder of the 1900s, as 121,452 saw the 1908 Scotland v England match. A new world record of 127,307 were in attendance to see Scotland play England in 1912.
World record crowds attended Scotland matches against England in 1931 and 1933 and it was 33 that saw the first team from mainland Europe, Austria visit the stadium. Further ground improvements increased the official capacity of the ground to 183,388 in 1937, but the SFA were only allowed to issue 150,000 tickets for games. The 1937 Scotland v England match had an official attendance of 149,415, but at least 20,000 more people entered the ground without tickets.
During WW2 a government official presented an order demanding that both the Hampden and Lesser Hampden pitches be ploughed and used to plant vegetables, but the Queen’s Park committee chose to ignore the order and the government did not pursue it.
Hampden hosted the 1960 European Cup Final; Real Madrid defeated 7–3 Eintracht Frankfurt with 130,000 people in attendance. By the time the next European cup final was held in 1976 between Bayern Munich of West Germany and Saint-Étienne of France the attendance had fallen to 54,670. The French complained about the goalposts stating that two of their efforts which hit the square crossbar and rebounded into play would have resulted in goals if it had been round!
Hampden was aging and the capacity was cut 81,000, redevelopment started in October 1981 and completed in 1986, reduced the capacity to 74,370 and cost £3 million. After the cancellation of the annual Scotland v England fixture in 1989, questions were raised as to whether Scottish football required a separate national stadium, other venues were mooted but the SFA and the stadium committee rejected these and after securing a grant of £3.5 million in 1992, work to begin on a £12 million project to convert Hampden into an all-seater stadium, Hampden was re-opened for a friendly match between Scotland and Netherlands on 23 March. The final stage of the renovation began in November 1997, costing £59 million, inevitably the price soared but Hampden was re-opened for the 1999 Scottish Cup Final. The ground now has a capacity of 51,866.
The stadium was again fit to host the top matches and Real Madrid were again victorious when Hampden Park hosted the 2002 UEFA Champions League Final, defeating Bayer Leverkusen, with Zinedine Zidane scoring the winning goal with a left-foot volley.
In 2012, a Scotland women’s national football team game was played at Hampden for the first time, when it hosted the first leg of a European Championship qualifying playoff against Spain and Hampden was temporarily converted into an athletics stadium for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the European Championship in 2020 the National stadium has been chosen by Uefa as on of 13 venues for the competition and I am sure the people of Scotland will welcome whoever is chosen to play in Glasgow.
With the advent of big stadium concerts Hampden has been used to host a wealth of worldwide acts Genesis and Paul Young performed in the first concert at Hampden, in 1987. The Rolling Stones played there in 1990, during their Urban Jungle Tour. Since the redevelopment of Hampden was completed in 1999, many acts have performed there, including The Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Bon Jovi, Eagles, U2,Oasis, George Michael, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Neil Diamond, Take That, AC/DC, Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay, Pink, Paul McCartney, Rihanna, and Beyoncé.
In 2018 the SFA )Scottish Football Association)agreed a £5m fee for the national stadium with Queen’s Park, just this year it was used to host games in the delayed Euro 2020 matches.  Queen’s Park played their last home game at Scotland’s national stadium on Saturday March 20th 2021 after the SFA ended their lease, they beat Stranraer 3 - 0
