They could just cancel "collegiate" sports at this point and I largely wouldn't care. Watching corporations and investment capital firms run semi-professional football through public universities is so fricking off putting.

"Oh come on, you would miss it if were gone!"

It's already gone, and yes I miss it.

Wow what a frick up. Game

As someone who has never purchased an Xbox product ever, watching them diminish is sad and bad for gamers and the gaming eco-system in general.

Just like Sony kept Xbox in check back in the day a healthy Xbox would keep Sony in check today.

Capitalism only works when there is legitimate competition. The more legit players the better because companies have to actively appeal to them.

All those studios they spun off as "independent" will likely be dead in short order. They were cut lose because they lose huge amounts of money. They take way too long to make games and those games don't sell. They were living off MS's teet for years.

Studio closoures are only a tragedy when cooperate comes in, mandates a bunch of shite, andt hen ruins them in the process, which has happened here and there.

Seems like the exact opposite happened with Microsoft. They bought these studios and gave them unlimited money and freedom and they proceeded to waste many years and hundreds of millions of dollars releasing garbage that didn't sell.

Game of the tournament so far
