Thing is, Sony aren't even putting out that many bangers. Certainly not by the standards of last generation.

But that's the problem. Last generation was pivotal for the switch from physical media to digital, which means that anyone buying a new system is going to buy an updated version of their last gen system. Which was a PS4, because Microsoft completely fucked it last generation. Even with this gen's disappointing games, baffling lack of focus, poor messaging, and bizarre management decisions, they'd probably be in a much stronger position if they'd made a product that people actually wanted to buy last generation, because more folks would already be invested in the ecosystem.

Of course, that's not the most recent remake of Myst. The current one is called, er, 'Myst'.

Sigh. Looking forward to Riven. Again.

So are they actually going to bother to release this one, or...

To be fair, Gearbox was always a pretty crap deal for whoever was buying it because 2K owns the publishing rights to Borderlands in perpetuity. It would not surprise me if they end up under 2K, and that they end up costing 2K a lot less than they cost Embracer.

Well this is concerning. If they're not getting any more funding from 505 to make Control 2 and Condor then, uh, who's funding Control 2 and Condor?

The problem with Watch Dogs Legion is that all of the player characters are all procedurally generated, so while there's plenty of plot, it's pretty threadbare as a story.

They've got the look spot on, but everyone's miscast and none of the jokes land.

Well it's Xbox Wire, so it's PR rather than any actual critical evaluation.

And we all know how well Xbox PR has been doing lately.

Minecraft has some pretty comprehensive version control, so you should be able to install old versions pretty easily.

I mean, Idle Champions Of The Forgotten Realms is right there already.

Depends on whether your plan is to right the ship (sensible, boring, doesn't interest investors) or to take that money and gamble it elsewhere in hope for big returns (chaotic, potentially disastrous, shareholders love it).
