Classic Microsoft/xbox

it's like Microsoft hates his own platforms. Maybe they want more people playing on the Xbox platform directly, but why give an advantage to their direct cloud gaming competitor? Maybe the plan on buying Nvidia too? who knows 😆

Nvidia is a bigger company than Microsoft. Microsoft is worth $3.05 trillion, whereas Nvidia is worth $3.31 trillion

Omg that's huge! It's like... Few percent

ch3si.bsky.social•10 days ago

umm, I know that about Nvidia?? That was kind of like....the joke, Microsoft buying Nvidia??

Heh....what's 0.26 trillion between friends?

Stock wise maybe, but in reality nvidia physically is a much smaller business with much fewer products. I think they have around 20k employees while microsoft has reportedly well over 200k employees. Not sure if that includes game studio employees either.

Also last year nvidia looks like they made 30 bil in profits, while microsoft made 88 billion. Basically nvidias worth is totally tied to people thinking ai will be huge in the future and not on what they are actually worth rn.

Dang, big miss on that one for the consumer.

Yeah, this one hit me hard. I spent all weekend trying to make it work via battlenet and GeForce and I never got it. But the option for early access popped up...on my fucking Xbox home screen! So I paid and they took the money, then I got a message saying it wasn't compatible with my Xbox. Fuck..

I've spent so much money on Xbox games and game pass since it launched and Xbox live since it launched. That's like over twenty fucking years I've been paying them monthly! Only to get shit on.

Genuine problem but the way its worded is misleading.

This is what i mean when i say i dont trust MS theyll probably slowly faze it out

This is what happened with windows phone. Thety started releasing apps to Android and Apple, then they started releasing there first / better. :/ Next is Xbox getting skipped entirely. Really hope they don't.

At least if you have a series X you could remote play from your device... But that is weird as hell, could this be only until the 18th ?

Am I missing something - I see early access as $20 more (or $22.50 if you want Early Access as a Game Pass subscriber!).

$10 I *might* be tempted to pay since its a long weekend.
