Re: Phil Spencer: Elder Scrolls 6's Xbox Exclusivity Isn't About "Punishing" Other Platforms

Exactly what it means. Nintendo and Sony aren't financially involved in the production of the game, nor did they sign a contract to have it brought to their device, therefore Microsoft aren't legally obligated to sell the game on their devices. A blind man and his dog could see that any chance of the game being multiplatform went out the window as soon as Microsoft bought the game.

"We know what roguelikes (and their ***** child, roguelites) are"

Except you (other editors included) don't. Hades and Tumbleseed, for instance, are called Roguelikes here when they clearly aren't. Having either procedurally generated levels or permadeath doesn't automatically make a game a roguelike, just like being able to throw fireballs doesn't make Mario Galaxy a 3rd person shooter, and yet if they have either of those features, it's labelled a roguelike in reviews around here.

The dialogue of your conscience really made these games.
Evil Side: "Kill 'em! Smash their stones! Yeah!"
Good Side: "Or we could just break their concentration."
Evil Side: "Yeah, break their concentration with a boulder to the face!"

It is incredibly difficult to play B&W as a good god. Particularly as torching all non-believers and filling their homes with your followers is the easiest way to take over an enemy village >

"Ooooh, we've got this notion
That we'd quite like to sail the ocean
So we're building a big boat to leave here for good.

We're not keen on sinking
So we're all sitting here a thinking
'Cause we built it too big and we've run out of wood.

eidle eidle eee
eidle eidle eee

We simply can't leave 'til we get some more wood.

Oooh, we're not keen on sinking
so that's why we're sitting thinking

cause we simply can't leave 'til we get some more wood."

Those that have played B&W are cursing me by now. XD

"Most system have a one year warranty unless you bought extended warranty and then you have to take it back to whom you bought or send back to get a free replacement."

I can't speak for the EU, but here in Australia electrical goods are expected to last for a certain period of time depending on price and type of appliance. Warranties mean nothing if the product becomes defective in an unreasonable time frame.

See we have these consumer protection organisations so that it doesn't have to become a court case. If I send my Joycons to Nintendo for drift repair and they refuse to do it for free, I can go to the ACCC with my issue (and present this complaint from BEUC as supporting evidence) and they'll tell Nintendo that there is a problem with their product and they either have to repair it, replace it, or give me a refund. Consumer protection is why Steam now offers refunds.

"This goes to show how people like to pirate games and movies resulting in companies being bought but others that people like to blame for them our problem in causing. How about Pirates suckup and support these companies instead of pirating games and movies which would help them grow and be sustainable."

"In the end without this the Judges will toss the merits of the claims not enough evidence since people only makes claims but no Documentation and you can find whatever claims you want on the internet but short of Facts you have nothing."

so you wanna back that statement up with documentation? In regards to this instance of course.
