@facianea.bsky.social Over the years you’ve recommended several games to me, kind sir. Finally got around to Star Ocean: Second Story R. Just an absolute delight. I absolutely decimated the game balance with the crafting but it’s still a really fun time. You don’t miss in your recommendations.

Big cuts, but Xbox has managed to avoid closing any studios today. Double Fine and Compulsion go indie. Ninja Theory and Undead Labs will have new owners. Arkane Lyon process starts today. CEO Asha Sharma wants Xbox to reach 1bn players a day (it currently hits 1bn a year).
