Tho I suppose that is better than when he still went by Lukipoo and straight up plagiarized.
I didn't know he did that. Reminds me of YongYeah. While he never exactly plagiarized, his takes were more or less copy pasted, or just reporting news that was already not true or false. Going after glorified tabloid info. I will remember this. Luke I am not a hardcore fans, but at least he has his head on straight compared to other YouTubers. Thank you for letting me know, as this is new info for me.

More elaborate post:

YongYea is a fucking clickbaiting narrative spinning grifter. Just like the ActMan, just like HeelsvsBabyFace, just like SomeOrdinaryGamers.

They YEARN for controversy and scandal about everything. Like YongYea just made what feels like hundreds of videos talking about and shitting on Diablo Immortal ever since it was even announced. And yeah, it was popular and warranted to shit on Blizzard's failings but it comes to a point that just becomes obnoxious and see that these guys don't care about anything but the money the scandals generates them. They build their whole Youtube careers on just sitting on their ass and talking shit.

That's pretty much why I dropped him. The other guys I never bothered with, but at least Act Man i actually have something smart to say or point out something important a few times in a while. He at least can make me laugh with certain jokes.

To be more specific, I dropped him about a year or two before the Immortal disaster. If he was hanging on that long on trashing the game, then I'm glad I dropped him sooner than later.

Good, I don't want the Netflix-ification of gaming to happen.

Aside from whether or not that exec thing is right, it's good to know MS has such a well-defined and consistent vision for the Xbox brand.

The hits just don't stop coming.

They have to be doing this on purpose while being self-aware; They can't be this stupid/delusional.

Before seeing a price, I can see one way this might work. If gaming PC components become more expensive - for any reason - than they are now, Xbox could regain ground by making their console competitive relative to a gaming PC. Which pre-COVID, was kind of how it was. Most people wanted a no hassle experience so they spent money on a decent laptop for doing work and the console of their choice for play.

So sure, maybe the next Xbox costs $600 to $700USD. But if it performs as well as a PC that requires a $1400USD GPU, then its a fuckin' bargain.

They really cornered themselves between Xbox losing out to PlayStation, and GFWL losing out to Steam. The original vision of putting a computer in every living room was never really given the proper planning and execution.
