Reading the article that is what is being investigated. I think there's a scenario where they had sufficient enough measures in place, but I guess that will be shown through the lawsuit.

I dunno. I think as a platform that heavily markets to kids, they have a responsibility to ensure that those kids aren't preyed upon on their platform. If you took a child to a live action Bluey play, you'd be expected to keep an eye on your child, but you'd also have a reasonable expectation that the event holders have taken some measures as hosts to keep the kids safe from a variety of hazards.

That all sounds true to me. I've been with Sony for PS1, 2, 4 and 5 but had an Xbox OG/360. I've got to say I'm surprised that M$ hasn't with all their trillions been able to create a platform yet that makes them dominate in either the PC or console space. That said, I mustn't be the only one who thinks that the PS5 generation has been such a bad sign for the future of Sony. In 5 years I've played 3 good exclusive games on the system, the console has frankly been a waste of money. And they've had 12 live service games in development. 12 great single player or couch coop exclusives would have been fucking great, but instead they're chasing the live service dragon.

That could be compelling. I think they would want to design the OS in a way that strongly incentivises you to buy games through the Microsoft store, like SteamOS with the steam store. If they make it too flexible, they've just sold hardware at a loss to be someone's steam machine as well as making the OS potentially too complicated for a normal person to figure out. If they can make a windows machine that can play all of the old Xbox games, run other storefronts, and do quick resume/hibernate properly, I'm interested. I was kind of waiting out for SteamOS on desktop to get a console like experience on a PC.

Yeah, maybe. The OS will be built around Game Pass like how SteamOS heavily incentivises you to use Steam.

Broadly speaking, what are Xbox looking to do here? They optimise Windows for gaming and open up the console for other storefronts, then is it just a Steam device? They won't make money from Steam sales. Is this a cloud streaming device? Can you cloud stream games from other storefronts?

More Dead Cells doesn't sound so bad to me! Honestly between this and the Lost Crown PoP is looking more appealing. Played the lost crown last year but waiting for 1.0 for this one.

It's made by the developer who did the ongoing support for dead cells. Good observation if you didn't know that btw.

I've seen some previews, looks cool!

I was probably a bit uncharitable. TBF it is on my backlog of games I intend to play. It's just not a game I would want to pay $80 USD for based on what I've seen review wise.

Best of luck with that. I got the first game for free and still haven't played it. I say that as a fan of obsidian/old Bethesda i.e. the person you should be trying to get buy your game.

This was peak satire given you genuinely thought that they were talking about NMS and then proceeded to talk about Outer Wilds, the true game that OP was referencing by accident.

So is this like Wabbajack but without having to pay for Nexus Mods to download all kids quickly?

If they can get quick resume working on windows that would be a game changer for windows handhelds.
