I hate how people do that. Don Mattrick was the biggest problem for the Xbone but he was a dick.

Well, it's easy right now.

In the end, it's probably not unlawful to do this. I can't see MS lawyers agreeing to it if it was unlawful.

Also, the interesting thing is that the story is based on "alleged leaked email". Who knows if it's legit or not.

What about the Wii U's online? Other than your account being tied to the console, what's bad about it?

Is it tied to the console?

If that's the case, that's ****ing brutal. It should be your online persona and be allowed to be used on any console.

I don't know about Sony but I know MS allows you to access any of our online only games on any console. There is a slight issue with the "home" console but I know on the 360, you can transfer all the licenses to a different console for free.

Report: Machinima Paying YouTubers for Positive Xbox One Coverage
The content creators were allegedly instructed not to mention their involvement in the agreement.

Game radar is predicting Microsoft will add Dead Rising 3 and Assassins Creed IV to its free games for gold on the xbox one next year.

I'm waiting for Ryse. I suspect that will be the first one.

That would be pretty cool. I mean I wanna play it but I don't wanna pay for it lol

If lacking third party support is the problem with Nintendo's latest console, here's some good news: Watch Dogs is still coming to Wii U.

So, NNIDs being tied to your account instead of your consoles confirmed?

Also, we are planning to utilize Nintendo’s abundance of character IP more actively. I think the reason that Nintendo is now considered to have this “abundance of character IP” is perhaps because of our passive approach toward the character IP licensing business, which tends to have a high risk of damaging the value of the character. In other words, we think that spending time to develop our approach of having our characters appear mainly in our carefully selected games has created our current fortunate circumstances. However, we are going to change our policy going forward.

To be more precise, we will actively expand our character licensing business, including proactively finding appropriate partners. In fact, we have been actively selling character merchandise for about a year in the U.S.

Also, we will be flexible about forming licensing relationships in areas we did not license in the past, such as digital fields, provided we are not in direct competition and we can form win-win relationships.

By moving forward with such activities globally, we aim to increase consumer exposure to Nintendo characters by making them appear in places other than on video game platforms.

That's cool, but I've never had a problem with Nintendo's licensing of their IP's to third-party developers. My concern has always been their lack of encouraging third-party developers to make exclusive IP's for their console period.

Nintendo needs their own "Halo" and "God of War" that isn't based off of an already existing Nintendo IP.

Those two Nintendo news sound rather good, they are sort of tame announcements -important partnerships with 3rd party developpers would've been cooler-, but they peaked my interest.

The fact Sega bought Atlus is one of the better Nintendo news out there when it comes to third party titles 😬

That's funny.

They have no problem whoring out Mario in a thousand different games but then say they are going to allow developing firms to use their characters.

I heard Miyamoto's working on a new IP, and it's a shooter.

Link?

It'll be in Space, called Starfox.

Warner Bros. Montreal said that they have no plans to fix the bugs in Arkham Origins, and will instead work on DLC.

Also appalling.

AO was a decent game at best, but do enough really still play it to be affected that much by the bugs? I thought they fixed the worst of them at least.
