!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Those morons just closed their only "indie" Japanese studio.
Xbox is no longer a serious console, just get a PC.
Also Japan still being a market Microsoft has not managed to properly crack wrt games, makes this even more baffling—surely removing a (successful) local presence is only going to make that harder
XBox peaked at the 360.
That was one hell of a peak though
Yeah, they really blew it.
I owned one Xbox years ago. I just wanted to play games without technical issues. PC games were better but I just wanted to go arcade mode for a while. One of the first games I bought froze at the first loading screen every single time. I tried contacting the publisher, Microsoft, the developer... No one would help, barely even got responses. I exchanged it for another copy at the local store it came from, the new copy did the exact same thing. No refunds on games so I was stuck with a $50 game that didn't work.
That's when I realized that consoles have a lot of technical issues too, it's just not possible for me to fix them like it is on PC. Later that same xbox red ringed.
Fuck consoles.
Pc having technical issues running games is like a 20 year old meme that's kept alive as propaganda by weirdos who want a console vs pc culture war. If you get any pre-built pc from any major manufacturer and keep it updated you're probably gonna be fine in 99 percent of cases, and that 1 percent is from the actual game fucking up and not your system. Most of the time when people run into problems is when they built their own pc and are either using a non windows OS or refuse to update (which I totally understand both of those points and I'm in the same boat) and we know what we're signing up to when we do.
I've always owned both a pc and console for gaming, it's usually a Nintendo but occasionally it's either ps or Xbox depending on the games. Although I do prefer pc ports over console personally. My hands don't work well with controllers.
I don't know if I'd say if pc games work as flawlessly as you suggest, but yeah usually if there is a problem it's a poorly written game or a poorly implemented software integration meant to achieve goals that a CEO dreamed up.
But yeah it's been years since I had too many issues like that. The only one that comes to mind was a failed update in MS flight simulator prevented me from playing the game at all, until I found an obscure cache directory hidden somewhere and deleted it then downloaded 100 GB of updates again...
Microsoft is notorious for writing shitty software and this was 100% a case of their weird decisions for the game update sustem
Not to imply that Xbox was ever a serious console in Japan.
Go read old articles of the xbox console launches in Japan. It is legitimately sad.
It's tragic this effectively means just pivoting to a different division in the same company.
