@Heavyarms55 Yes, these free mods will continue to be available though, and they provided very little revenue for the studios behind them. Microsoft isn’t selling this pack, Gamemode One is, they are making the money from it. This is Microsoft helping small developers make a living, not punishing players. Mojang never officially supported third party launchers from the beginning, though they will still continue to work if they support MSA authentication after the account migration occurs.
@Heavyarms55 Realize that the marketplace pays content creators, so Gamemode one, the devs for this pack are likely to get most of the profit. It allows creators to live off of their content, making it easier for them to do this full time, rather than harder.
I’ve been waiting for you guys to post this so I could talk about high stoked I am! Httyd is my favorite film series, and Minecraft is one of my favorite games, so this is a dream come true!
Jedi Fallen Order 2? May still be too early though. Loved the first game. Or maybe we'll get a new genre of Star Wars game like with Squadrons last year. Other than Star Wars, I'm in no way excited for this. I can't really think of any other ip I'd want to see there.
@Brummieendo90 He gives them out for free on Twitter. Just finished the last of his Three Houses giveaways, and he hasn’t announced the next one yet, so it may be a couple months. Here’s his profile though: https://twitter.com/nosey_tengu?s=21
I’ve been hoping to buy Rowan’s from Etsy at some point, but haven’t gotten around to it. He seems to get them out a lot faster than Nosey Tengu does, though Nosey Tengu’s are all hand drawn art
One of my favorite multiplayer games! Depending on the cost, I may have to double dip like I did with screencheat. Bought both of them on steam to play locally, but I have a lot more controllers for switch, letting a lot more people play
@rockodoodle That’s impressive. How often do you play? I was playing a lot the first month, but quite after not unlocking my racers. Which stinks because I was enjoying the game a good bit.
I really hope this goes the Mario run route, and is a one time purchase. In Mario kart tour, the micro transactions were ridiculous and it was impossible to get any slightly interesting kart without paying ludicrous sums of money. Nintendo seems to be getting more and more ambitious with their in app purchases, and I hope that doesn’t carry over to this game.
Just bought 3 over Christmas and we’ve been playing it every time we have people over. Next time they’re on sale I’ll probably end up buying another one.
@BirdBoy16 So far, pretty good. I've slowly been making my way through them. The Island is definetly the best so far, and takes a very interesting look at how Minecraft would seem if we were truly on the inside of it. The Crash was interesting, but veered away from the base game and built its story on "glitches" which took away some of the enjoyment for me.
I’ve never played the original, but I absolutely love the remake. As of now, it’s my favorite 2D Zelda. (Although I’m about half way through a link to the past, so we’ll see if that changes)
Really excited. Honestly nothing beats the hype that E3 brings every year. Just a week of rapid fire announcements every day from the biggest players in the industry. I simply can't understand why people would want it to die.
Been playing this consistently since it came out. I was really sad when I heard about it. To everyone saying it's just a clone of pokemon go, I would say it builds upon it. The AR is incredibly impressive, and it was really fun to collect all the brand new exclusive mobs. The glow squid is coming to the base game, and the wooly cow is in dungeons, so the mobs will at least hopefully live on in the other games, but sad to see it go none the less.
Was overall really happy with this year. I really did miss E3, and hope every company goes back next year, but I’m pretty sure I was actually able to afford almost all first party titles this year which was kind of nice. Ones I’ve played the most are animal crossing and age of calamity. And while I do love new horizons, age of calamity probably my game of the year. Hoping for a switch pro to come out next year, as I’d definitely end up buying that.
Really excited for the next season pass. Now with crosslay out, and cross save coming soon, I can move my character between my switch and pc, and me and my brother can play together on our on systems. Hopefully some of my friends pick up the game now too, and I can play with them as well.
Didn't know who Joker was until he was announced for smash. Love dynasty warriors gameplay, so I'd love to play this if the actual game doesn't come to switch, as I really want to see more of the characters.
@HotGoomba Yeah, Respawn has been pretty good with putting out high quality stuff. Fallen Order was really great and I had fun with the little bit of apex I’ve played.
Just got a arms booklet from the guy who made the splatoon 2 one. He gives them out for free on Twitter though. It looks really good, and I’ve been following the dude that makes these and I want his botw one.
@MrBlacky I mean, there’s a chance it is. There’s a theory that the winter oot castle town ruins are the great plateau. So there is the possibility of places from oot to still be standing
I've been getting back into botw again in preparation for this game. I have everything in it besides fully upgraded armor, one saddle from the horseback archery game, and koroks. Just reached 400 this past weekend.
So excited! The gameplay looked great and the levels feel a lot bigger than the first game. I really hope there’s a way to just walk through them, because seeing things like the hyrule field tower rise out of the ground in the middle of buildings that you recognize as ruins from botw was amazing, and I just want to explore every difference in the way hyrule once was.

Re: Minecraft Was The Most-Watched Game On YouTube In 2020
@nessisonett Same, never even heard of it. I find it amazing a game can be so popular, with so many people not even knowing what it is.
I contributed quite a bit to the Minecraft views, and watched Minecraft Live. Also watched Ubisoft forward, but on twitch
