So much of gamer discourse is meta-analysis of other gamers being negative about dumb stuff like yellow paint or NO YELLOW PAINT.
I wish people could realize that these people are just unhappy and they are projecting it on to their hobby.
Can we just ignore it not amplify it?? 🙏

That phenomenon where you’re seeing a movie in a theater and a character is revealed to be from the very place where you are, maybe they say something about the place. And people laugh - just a little - not from a joke but from unexpected recognition and you all look around at each other.

SCOOP: For the last two years, Microsoft has pushed Xbox to hit profit margins of 30%, an ambitious target that's far higher than the industry average.
This chase for profit has led Xbox to raise prices, cut thousands of jobs, and rethink everything.

On today’s stream, we’re talking Microsoft’s deal-breaking Game Pass price hike, EA’s sale to a consortium that includes Saudi Arabia, and how both these things are symptoms of an industry being sold for parts. Also, time permitting: Baby Steps. We go live at 4 PM ET

sharing receipts. I hope you do too. Too many people have lost their jobs, their passion project cancelled while Xbox leadership maintains their multimillion dollar salaries and passes their mistakes onto the consumer.
