So...what am I getting for the Xbox One, Mr. Spencer? Are we going to get an epic last hurrah that will make people come to the console for that exclusive that will stay as an exclusive? Will you finally decide on a menu layout (from what I've heard, the menu layout was and still is a mess unlike that of the 360 in its final years when there were still a lot of people playing online and not hacking left and right) and do it correctly? Are you going to bring Xbox One, 360, and OG Xbox games to PC via the Microsoft Store or Steam? (preferably the games that haven't seen an official PC release *winks at all of the 3D Ninja Gaiden games that aren't Yaiba, Red Dead Redemption, and Jet Set Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon Orta, etc..*)
Wait, inclusivity? Solving "abuse"? (over someone being called names as opposed to focusing on, say, protecting your consumers' personal information in an era where companies are hacked daily) Trying to protect kids who, frankly, I don't see playing games with a traditional controller given how a lot of parents will usually hand them a tablet/phone and expect it to be the parent (which isn't necessarily how you parent) with no potential for problems? (*winks at microtransaction use in FTP games and transactions the parents never initiated themselves*)
IDK, it seems like I could write this off to people not taking responsibility and just giving kids, say, an ODroid XU4 with a bunch of games on it and no online multiplayer gaming to be sure, but then again, I wasn't playing games online until I played GameSpy Chess when I was in 3rd or 4th grade with some very colorful individuals that'd make whatever "toxicity" Microsoft wants to police look like MLP in comparison! But I was satisfied with what I had growing up, especially with older brothers who didn't mind playing games every now and then and yeah, we got mad, frustrated, and maybe there was a little roughhousing afterwards, but it was all in good fun as opposed to, "this guy's pwning me hard, I'll show him/her by looking up their personal information and either dox them or call a SWAT team on them! I'm a real badass! Hurr durr!" Now THAT's a real problem to solve. I don't know why it's so easy for some freak or immature brat to somehow get where you live, your phone number, or whatever, and suddenly, now I'm afraid to play online not just because of this nonsense of anything being considered offensive (remember when someone with the username DonaldTrump was banned from Overwatch/Battle.net's service?), and also the fact that, with more people playing games "regularly" now than ever before, that means you have more LEGITIMATE psychos that could be like that Tyler Barris douche and get someone innocent killed.
Video games, contrary to popular belief, are not serious business. Yeah, I know there's FaZE, EVO, Fatal1ty and every professional gamer I could list, but those who are successful and stay that way for years are the exceptions and not the rules in that sphere of gaming. Just take a deep breath, remind yourself that video games are just escapes from reality, and chill. The world isn't coming to an end because you didn't get the round-winning EPIC 1080 No-Scope to win the match for your team that's probably full of randoms if you aren't in a party or whatever Sony's equivalent is on PS4.
