The user figures are strongly impacted by the closing of Microsoft’s acquisition of gaming giant Activision Blizzard

I was sceptical of the 500m figure for Xbox (even if we include Xbox on Windows); but it makes sense if they include Battle.net figures I guess…

Forza Horizon, on the other hand, are actually quite fun.

just worlds to run around in

Which, ironically, was why I only played the main quest in Starfield vanilla. Running around empty, boring planets, with copy-pasted dungeons (there’s only, what, 10 varieties?), felt like nothing but a colossal waste of time.

So glad I didn’t pay for it (Gamepass, with apologies to my Linux friends).

Most clients can show split votes. So a 0 upvote is different to 1up 1down.

On that note, not a single person downvoted your comment 🥲
