Hi. I used to go by “TheClubXbox”. I once planned to build content around Xbox, but when I finally had the time, I realized that space just isn’t for me. Too much negativity, drama, and childish noise. That’s not how I live my life, so I’m not bringing it online either. Life forced a reset recently. So I made one here too. Same guy though. Still gaming when I can. Always will, for as long as I’m able.

People worrying too much about @XBOX should consider a vacation. Great places to travel to this time of year ☀️ 🌊 🍻 We all have opinions on recent XBOX news and rumors, but it's out of our control anyway. Enjoy the weekend instead 😎

Nice to get that clarification from XBOX on the in-game ads claims. It would be the move that ended XBOX. Keep those ads away, find other ways to monetize
Replying to @shinobi602
This is not correct: • In the interview, I am asked about a comment I made before being hired at XBOX, then state that I was only 10 days into the role, and that I am not stating the company's plans or beliefs • What I do say is that ads should be used to offer more affordable alternatives alongside today's ad-free experiences, in the hopes more could play as a result. Similar to how Netflix and Disney have ad-tiers with all the same content, but at half the price or so • At no point do I even mention in-game ads (I personally believe interrupting the gameplay experience would be bad)

If XBOX (or anyone else) do this, I'm done. I hate ads with a passion and there's no way I'll support any platform that forces ads on me. No chance
Xbox is floating the idea of in-game ads, noting that may have potential to "keep our products affordable". Goal is to ensure they can 'continue to fund outstanding work' from dev teams More ➡️ windowscentral.com/gaming/xb…
Community note
The Xbox executive clarified he did not mention in-game ads or company plans for them, instead suggesting optional ad-supported subscription tiers like Netflix ad tiers. x.com/ballmatthew/st…

So true. And when I have spare energy, I feel guilty about things I need to do around the house.

Looking at this objectively and not from a lense of what I want, if @XBOX is going to leverage Activision Blizzard, as soon as that 10 year deal that prevents CoD exclusivity is over, they need to make it Xbox/PC only. That would force a lot of players from Playstation to Xbox or PC. Either way it would cripple Playstation. Again, not what I want. I wish exclusives wasn't a thing, but that's unfortunately not how it works

We're going to be playing on Xbox Series and Playstation 5 in 2030 at this point 😬😬
I know things are bad but this is insane

3% profits 👀 For perspective, XBOX/Microsoft could put money in the bank and get 4-5% interest risk-free and without doing anything. So this is worse than I thought
Sharma confirmed the profit margin news which is very surprising. This is a new era of transparency. "We will end this fiscal year at about a 3% accountability margin." That's not quarterly but annually. Xbox has made $16.8 bn revenue so far in this fiscal year (FY26).

You're not going to grow your brand by cutting in marketing. I'm curious to how they even get to that conclusion. Even the most powerful companies with the most recognizable brands keeps on pushing hard on marketing. Because you need to be in people's face, front and center!

Yikes. Did they really expect anything else? Good thing they course corrected but still...

Asha Sharma via Bloomberg: "(...) we are increasingly becoming a platform and in order to be a platform you must have exclusive content and services. We are looking into that, we have to be very thoughtful about each title and learn from similar cases in the industry."

This is potentially worrying news in regards to the future of James Bond games. No, I'm not trying to doom and gloom here. But @IOInteractive exceeded expectations with @007GameIOI. And they got a good track record with Hitman. I can't say the same about Amazon Studios I'm afraid

I think it's perfectly fine to mix it up a bit after two standard God of War games. It's probably the right move because some of us are getting fatigued by the same old template of gameplay over and over
I’d just rather play as Kratos or Atreus to be honest
