A corporation trying to maximize profits. Oh my! What a surprise! The only question is if MS will lose money in the long run by handing over their exclusives. Personally, I didn't really buy any of my 4 xboxes for its exclusives. I like Gamepass and the Xbox ecosystem. Those gamers who choose PlayStation because of exclusives probably wouldn't buy an Xbox anyway.

Yup. All the hermits I know always mention fps first. Anything below 144 fps, and their day is completely ruined.

Yeah, same here. I would say that Capcom peaked in the 1990s with Street Fighter 2, Ghouls'n'Ghosts and Resident Evil 1 & 2, but it is still a great company all these years later. Unlike Konami and EA.

The game doesn't look very impressive graphically, but of course it could still be enjoyable. I am downloading it for my daughter and will see what she thinks about it.

Well, "fans" are often full of haters. In the end, I think Microsoft's top leaders and stockholders want to see profit and growth. I doubt they have time to listen to cows and other biased people about how Phil is.

I guess he is fine, so he can stay. He is the father of gamepass, which I enjoy very much. He is a 100 times better than Don Mattrick. Has any top leaders in Microsoft ever expressed discontent with Phil?

The first Splinter Cell game was one of the earliest 3D stealth games, and while it was not perfect, it was and is still a masterpiece.

I only remember 2 faults:

Checkpoints were sometimes too far apart.

Yeah, sometimes the darkness was ridiculous, especially in the CIA underground mission. I would feel constantly sleepy if I had to work there, lol.

These days, any video game developer / employee could risk getting fired. Except maybe for Todd Howard, Shigeru Miyamoto and Hideo Kojima.

The new Switch 2 hardware will be so mega powerful that it will easily outmatch PlayStation... The PS2 that is...

My bad jokes aside, I am already pretty convinced that the Switch 2 will be another hit for Nintendo. That mighty powah on PS5, Xsex and PC isn't everything. 140+ million gamers have spoken.

@R4gn4r0k: Yeah, I have been thinking the same thing. Maybe amateur modders are better, because they don't have to work under pressure?
