I find it shocking that I can't create an account on my Xbox without assigning an email address to it.
For parents it's just a nightmare.

My hot take of the day: If you're a "AAA" studio and you are releasing a $110+ game with huge performance requirements, you should also release a free benchmark tool.

Completed The Drifter last night. A wonderful little game. So nice to play a solid point and clock after so many years. And heck, the gamepad support is great, so it's also a 'tilt and mash' adventure game? Doesn't have the same ring to it. . .
Thanks @barney.powerhoof.com + @dave.powerhoof.com !
