I trust these people with every cell of my body.

Science would be a lot better if scientists gave every creature funny names.

Everything is Hooty. The sky. The earth we walk on. The air we breathe. Our bodies. We are not sentient beings. We are but a persistent fragment of a dream Hooty once had, which He refuses to let die.

The sooner we accept it, the sooner our minds will find peace.

spoilerCompletely off topic, but every time I hear "Open your eyes", I'm reminded of this.

I wonder why... :P

This is wonderful advice! Thank you, John Xbox! I may be without a job, but I will keep on using your products like the mindless consumer I am, so that your paychecks will keep on growing.

God, this is so out of touch that it stops being funny and becomes genuinely uncanny. Like, are these people even real? Are they robots piloted by Skynet? Am I the only real person on the entire planet?

This is top quality journalism offered for free. We don't deserve you.

Don Mattrick left Xbox in 2013. It was more than a decade ago. He may have ruined the XOne launch, but Spencer has had all the time and money in the world to rectify his mistakes and, so far, has only worsened them to the point that most doubt that a new Xbox will exist at all. Nintendo was on the brink of disaster after the Wii U, and managed to turn their fates around in half the time and with a fraction of the money. Why couldn't Spencer?

In all these years, Spencer's legacy has been of failed deals, shutting down/letting go multiple studios, and moronic attempts at building AAA and GAAS games on the back of seasonal contractors. We should stop blaming Mattrick for things that happened a decade after he left the company.

I swear this is not me doomering (I very much support this campaign and even signed it myself half a year ago), but I strongly suspect that at least a good chunk of those are fake. The issue is very hot in "terminally online" circles and those are the kind of people who don't really think things through before acting.

I hope the number will keep on growing until the "legit" votes make up for the fake ones.

I'm pretty sure that, in this specific case, the delay was mandated by the game's publisher, Sony. I doubt the Series S has anything to do with it.

When enough problems have leaked through, it will cause a buffer overflow, and all problems will be solved!

Considering that it skipped the last showcase despite reportedly releasing next year, I don't have high hopes for that one.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was built on the backs of seasonal contractors. Seems like that's the strategy they have chosen for their other big IPs as well (Forza Motorsport 8 and Halo Infinite).

It's incredible that the clowns in charge of the gaming division and responsible for dragging it through the mud for all these years get to keep their job and will probably see an increase in their salaries as well, while the people that lost their jobs because of their incompetence will get nothing but a sad press release from ~~Uncle Phil~~ the HR department.

A system reboot would be wonderful now.

Let's hope we do better next time.

I had almost lost all hope for this to be released.
