Nothing significant changes if you remove the green one.
>>736562296nintendo and their cult
Playstation made wokeness mainstream.
How many console war did Xbox win?
>>736562296If you say anything other than xbox you're a retard who doesn't belong here
There really isn't as much of value lost from killing Microsoft as opposite to Sony or Nintendo, I don't think it's a debate.
>>736562296snoy has made beyond irreparable damage to the industry, and snoys are inssuferable, so that one
Xbox, no contest
>>736562296Nintendo, I want to see significant changes.
Xbox
I fucking dislike Nintendo with all my heart
Playstation
>>736562663Anybody sane does.
>>736562296Game wise? Microsoft. Fanbase? Nintendo.
Game wise? Playstation. Fanbase? Playstation.
>>736562379The sad truth...
>>736562296Obviously Xbox. Microsoft sucks and is pure evil. They have contributed nothing to gaming except normalizing having to pay for the online connection you already pay for. Completely worthless company. Removing them actively improves the industry.
>>736562296Gayden
>>736562706Yeah
>>736563067You need a time machine to undo the damage. Erasing them now does nothing.
You can just tell this thread was made by a steamie
If we killed Xbox, there would be>no achievements>no paid online>DLCs would become mainstream way later>indie console scene would be dead>game studios would be either AAA or shovelware, no in between>no standardized Xinput for PC controllersJust a reminder that PS3 was made hard to develop on purpose to filter out "bad" developers from making games, but finds out the entire industry was filled with "bad" developers
>>736562296If we remove Microsoft these things would never have happened:>flooding millions of normalfags into the video game market in 7th gen >paid online >horse armor DLC >GWFL and their attempt to kill PC gaming>brown and bloom shooter era >normalizing the consolidation of the video game industry>censorship thats even worse than Sonys >tranny pushing thats even worse than Sonys>tons of great game studios wouldnt have been shut down >lots of IPs would still be alive
>>736562794You are a pig, OP.
>>736562296xboxyou would not really lose anything
>>736562296>NintendoNope. Why would I want nearly the entirely industry to be about "cinematic" AAA "games" and western style realism?>SonyNope, because competition is good. Even for PC. >XboxThis one. It already has one foot in the grave, and Halo is a joke now. Nothing of value would be lost.
Unfortunately removing Nintendo also removes PlayStation and therefor the PS1 and 2 which are the greatest consoles of all time. Id honestly pick Blizzard or EA but if I had to choose between those 3 id go with Xbox.
>>736562296Playstation. They've done the most harm and Xbox would get destroyed way faster by Nintendo anyways.
>>736562296Xbox is the easiest fucking answer and anyone who chooses the other two is a moron.
>>736562296there's literally no reason for Xbox to exist right now
>>736562296Playstation, just to shake things up.
>>736562296sony
>>736562296The one that's actively already trying to remove itself from existence, Xbox. The death of Xbox is already course correcting the industry, if it didn't exist, gaming would be in a better place today.
>>736562379Xbox did that, they were doing it way before PlayStation. What /v/ fails to tell you is that Microsoft is responsible for everything negative in console and PC gaming today, everything.
>>736562296Killing Xbox slows down the implementation of hard drives in consoles. Memory cards live a little longer in a cultural sense. It maybe slows down the cultural spotlighting od indies as well, the 360 was ahead of the curve on that one. I don't think it has any conclusive detriments though. It just slows some things down. Seems like the right choice to make when weighed against the benefits - killing online subscriptions, to name one. I think only Microsoft was audacious enough to introduce that cancer.
>>736562296remove sony and this board loses 90% of brown posters overnight
Myself
>>736562296Xbox.
>>736562794Nintendo is the one leading the charge as to why Valve, Sony, and third parties are all chasing optimization and efficiency next gen. No Nintendo, and Microsoft would kill the entire gaming industry with their filth.
if you remove nintendo the other 2 never make a console to begin with because videogames as a concept burn out and become just another shitty meme
xbox is the objective answer
>>736562296sony and their cult
I would erase Nintendo fans outside of Asia
sony
>>736562379I'd definitely choose Sony, last good console they made was the PS2. they've been a cancer ever since
>>736564394>finds out the entire industry was filled with "bad" developersIf Xbox wasn’t easy to develop for, bad developers wouldn’t have gotten into the industry. Xbox really is the cancer that ruined gaming.
Get rid of sony, and it accomplishes two things:>movie games die out>nintendo fans stop using them as a convenient scapegoat for nintendos bad practices
>>736564394>no achievementsGood>no paid onlineHow is this a bad thing?>indie console scene would be deadWii, DS, PSP, and PC existed>game studios would be either AAA or shovelware, no in betweenAAA exist the way it does because of Microsoft, without them, games would have still been as good as they were from 3rd-6th generation.>>no standardized Xinput for PC controllersThat would have been a blessing. Fuck Microsoft's stagnating asses, I'm glad Valve exists to save us from them.>Just a reminder that PS3 was made hard to develop on purpose to filter out "bad" developers from making games, but finds out the entire industry was filled with "bad" developersIt was also because of Microsoft's faggot ass parity clause, those anti-competitive pieces of shits.
Killing Nintendo has an insane ripple effect on the development of controllers. They pioneered the D-Pad, shoulder buttons and analog sticks as we know all of those concepts today, to say nothing of how they helped shape touch and motion controls as they are now. Controllers might be better without their influence, who's to say? But they would be very, very different.
>>736562296>PlayStation WokenessMoviegamesCensoringPaying publisher to gain exclusivity on games>Xbox?????Answer is clear
>>736565526Those bastards are trying to do it again with Helix, it's not working this time though because Xbox is dead and RAM shortage is doing a number on the industry. Devs are finally listening to Nintendo and Valve about OPTIMIZING YOUR GAMES, and Sony is also now forcing devs to OPTIMIZE THEIR GAMES! Meanwhile, Microsoft is telling devs to just develop for PC for Helix, can't wait for that to bite them in the ass. GTA VI will be the last bloated AAA game before AAA fully collapses because everyone else is already transitioning out of AAA, except Microsoft. Microsoft's software adventures may get cut short too if they don't get their shit together as a multiplatform publisher.
>>736565526PS3 was the death of AA studios.
>>736565534>movie games die outMovies games got created because of Microsoft, due to the PS3 taking a beating to the 360, the western side of Sony weaseled their way into power and took over PlayStation for a time.
>>736565819Xbox was the cause of PlayStation doing all of that, Xbox did it first and did/does it worse.
remove tendies
>>736562296None of them have released anything truly great in like 10 or 11 years so it doesn't matter.
>>736562296Playstation, since xbox is already doing a great job in deleting itselfNintendo is allied with PC and they still make quality games, so no need to fuck them up
>>736566107Remove pigs.Squeal for me, Pigric.
>>736566046SEGA gives a fuck you too, don't reply please
>>736562296Either Microsoft or Valve (not pictured). One is objectively evil and a net negative whereas the other doesn't make games.
>>736565324It wouldn’t affect PC players so all the subhumans would remain.
removing sony or microsoft won't change anything. nintendo is the only significant one because its IPs are so good. my opinion is they need a competitor. SEGA dreamcast should have lived on, that would change gaming for sure in a better way.
>>736562296Xbox purely because then gyro aim would be standard since at least 2010 onwards.>>736562379That was the jews and would have happened regardless.
I don't care or play Nintendy. I don't like Sony. I don't like Microsoft.So flip a coin.
>>736562296Xbox. I liked early Xbox but now its now very important. Nintendo and PlayStation have too many good memories for me to erase. I guess I could do without Blinx.
>>736566330Why Valve? they literally make the best storefront, the best place to have your digital library, the best prices, the best pro-consumer practices, why remove them? They're a force of good in Gamindustry.
Obviously Xbox. Why would you even need to think about this. They brought nothing good.
>>736562296Retroactively? Sony, the Saturn would have won if it weren’t for them Just presently? Still Sony lmao
>>736562794Because of immature responses like this I'm inclined to pick sony to remove
>>736566636>Nintendo and PlayStation have too many good memories for me to eraseagreed on Nintendo, because they still put out quality games like they used to and they're also proving to be the most pro-consumer of the three after having lowered the price of their digital exclusives to 60$, reaching parity with PC game pricesdisagree on Sony, because the fact that we have fond memories of them is even more reason to destroy them now, since they have nothing more to do with what they were, they completely spit on their legacy, their fans, their brand and name, they only exist now to please billionaires, there's no reason to keep them around
>>736566891Erase from existence means killing Sony of old so all my JRPGs I grew with would be removed from existence. Nintendo and Xbox wouldn't have been good homes for a lot of PS1 era Japanese rpgs that wanted to use CDs.
>>736562296Nintendo for sure, removing that dogshit would also remove about 99,9% of all trannies and bugmen in the world kek
>>736566885In an ideal world everyone would be running a Gaming PC + Nintendo Switch/Switch 2 combo
Valve
>>736566330>ValveFuck you, they're the ones saving PC gaming.
>>736566682>first platform to revoke consumer ownership rights>makes less games than even microsoft>good for the consumer
>>736567426Why Valve? they're literally the only company out there that are your friends instead of billionaire-cocksuckers>>736567448This, Valve is alone pulling the weight of PC gaming on its shoulders and alongside it Nintendo pulling alone the weight of console gaming on its shoulders, anyone who'd wish those gone is insane
>>736562379
>>736567080>all the jrpgs would be removed from existenceSo we would have less tranime walking sims? Not sure how thats a bad thing.
>>736566636This, I always loved Nintendo, Sega, PlayStation, and PC gaming, I never really gave a shit about Xbox, I got it because it felt like the only real option during the 7th generation. I wish I would have just stuck with Nintendo, PlayStation, and PC. Better late than never returning to all three finally next gen.
the right answer was xbone
>>736567504>revoke ownership rightsYou literally have more freedom with a digital pc game than any physical console game.
>>736567504>>736567682>>first platform to revoke consumer ownership rightsNot really, Valve doesn't force any anti-consumer practice in their store, if you don't own your games, that's the decision of the company or companies that are selling you those>>makes less games than even microsoftThey're primarily a digital storefront who also happens to put out quality games once in a full moon, but they have no obligation to make those, also Valve has ALL the games, since multiplatform games can only be counted as games when played on PC
>>736567504>like Nintendo, they're the main reason we're seeing the rise of indie and AA gaming again while also finally getting Japanese and western devs to break out of their console cages and release on PCLosing Valve is like losing Nintendo, we lose either, and Microsoft completes their mission to destroy gaming.>>736567556Exactly, Nintendo and Valve are the main reason Sony has finally woke up and going back to their roots finally leaving the direction they went with the late PS3, mid PS4, and PS5 fully. Microsoft was only good to PC gaming before Xbox was a thing, when Xbox became of thing, the slow downward spiral began.
>>736566682They don't make games so they don't matter. In a just world, a vidya company that doesn't make vidya would die out.>>736567448No, fuck you, leatherman.
Xbox. Nintendo and Sony are way too important for the history of the medium and still make great games on occasion.
>>736568674>still make great games on occasionI don't know about microsoft and nintendo definitely puts out quality games, but man, please tell me, which great games has Sony put out this generation? Are these great games in the room with us? I only see movie-games crap and GaaS slop
>>736567426this
>>736567682>Valve is good because....just don't use valve and pirate instead
>>736562296Playstation offers nothing of value anymore. All their IPs suck big and hard throbbing horse cock.
>>736568430Fuck you, and not him, Valve didn't get back into game development because of Microsoft. Due to Microsoft's Windows 8 nonsense, Valve had to spend years building SteamOS and the eventual hardware for it and put it through the testing phasing before they could finally get back into proper game development.
>>736567797>Valve doesn't force any anti-consumer practice in their storeThe inability to own the games you purchase from them is an anti-consumer practice they forced. Sorry, this isn't debatable, it's just a fact about their business model.
Green is killing itself as we speak and I'm not giving them that mercy strokeBlue can die
>>736567917>Losing Valve is like losing Nintendo,No not really. Valve doesn't make video games and Nintendo's entire business is making video games.
>>736569316Legally speaking you've never owned any of your cartridges or CDs as all of them contain a ROM license to given softwareYou are blaming Steam for digital-distribution making that copyright practically enforceable
>>736562296Xbox's existence has been overall negative to gaming. I will miss the Summer of Xbox but it's for the best.
>>736569316They didn't force anything, tourist, they leave it open-ended for the game companies that publish said games in their storefront, it's not Valve doing this
>>736569434>Legally speaking you've never owned any of your cartridges or CDs as all of them contain a ROM license to given softwareFalse.>You are blaming Steam forRevoking ownership rights by intentionally not making physical games when they could.
>returns into existence
>>736569471Valve forced it, and they didn't leave it open ended. This isn't debatable. Stop lying to defend a billionaite.
>>736569378Microsoft would collapse the PC industry which would also have a negative impact on the console industry. Nintendo, Sony, and Valve act as shields against Microsoft.
>>736569554>False"Don't take me seriously" wrapped up in just one word, thanks anon
>>736569623>Microsoft would collapse the PC industryWhich would be long overdue. PC gaming has needed a hard reset for decades. I'm done with the storefront experiment. Lets get back to game ownership and consumer rights.
>>736562296Xbox cause fuck bill gates and Microsoft doesn’t make games anyway.
why the fuck wouldn't you pick Xbox lelI could see it 20 years ago, but now?
>>736569718You can stop taking me seriously. I won't mind. I'm remain correct either way.
>>736569768Fuck you, Microbot, if you don't like video games or the roots of video games, you don't deserve video games nor do you belong in video game discussions. Microsoft is a cancer to gaming and Xbox is a disease.
>>736569825Xbox is already dying, no need to hasten it
>>736562296Xbox.Sony and Nintendo was and is still needed, even if they're both being retarded as of late
>>736567613>tranimeironic coming from a tendie
>>736569884I know. I'm just saying I would embrace that disease killing PC gaming since it's an even larger festering disease.
>>736562296Valve three times
>>736562296Xbox easilyAfter the original Xbox it's been downhill
Nintendo, so I can live in the Sega timeline.
>>736564394>Just a reminder that PS3 was made hard to develop on purpose to filter out "bad" developers from making games, but finds out the entire industry was filled with "bad" developersThe 7th gen has been over for over 10 years, you can rest anon. Lay down the cope.
>>736569768well said. Valve could easily implement digital ownership by allowing you to sell and trade your digital licenses but they refuse so they can keep more money. Why anyone fellates internet Walmart is something I'll never understand. At least Nintendo makes new products. Valve just sits around collecting taxes.
Microsoft prevents gyro becoming standard, they prevent the uniqueness of controllers, they hold back gaming. Glad less and less developers will develop for Microsoft in the future. Can't wait for the Xbox Helix project to fail spectacularly.
>>736570558Xbox pioneers paid online and that's the worst you have to say about them?
>>736571553>tricked Sega into showing them how to make a console and then throwing them away like a used up toothpick>paid online>paid DLC>standardize the dumbing down of console and PC games>bought out, ruined, and killed off studios left and right>power is everything, literally>dumbed down game coding>refuse to properly translate KB&M to their controller>PC games are held back by the Xbox>stagnating controller innvation>dumbed down console/PC genres>need to always log in online to play games the first time>is the reason game budgets are out of control>wanted to kill AA games for AAA slop>were the pioneer of cutscenes over gameplay>parity clause>paid grifters and journalists to shit on their competitors>brought normalfag cancer to gaming>GFWF>Windows 8>UWP>constant forced Windows 10 update>Windows 11 AI slop>Game Pass>tried to monopolize the industry>hates game optimization>turned Sony into the mess they are today only now healing from that>forced Nintendo to go gimmick crazy for years until the Switch finally happened>screwed up Valve's game development pipeline because of Windows 8 leading to Valve needing to work on an alternative to WindowsI can go on, Xbot, Xbox is a complete shitshow that shouldn't exist. You Xbots losing everything is well deserve, you video game hating faggots.
>>736572062Dunno why you're mad at me, I'm illustrating that they're the obvious evil here. They fucking pioneered paid online, fuck Microsoft.
>>736572062Yup Valve and Microsoft can both go.
>>736572474Games were going digital whether you like it or not, at least Valve, Sony, and Nintendo don't do it like Microsoft.
>>736572913>Games were going digital whether you like it or notI disagree.
>>736573390It is and was. Companies spend less on digital codes over discs or carts. Microsoft are the only assholes hating digital and wanting you to use a subscription service instead that way they can pull your library at any time because you would literally own nothing, and no, you won't be happy.
>>736574493I disagree.
>>736574493>they can pull your library at any timeThis is true of digital as well. Corporations like subscriptions because it’s reliable cash flow whether or not you’re playing anything.
>>736562367>no paid online>no predatory dlc>no push for incomplete games at release>no gaas push for consoles>no brand nosediveSounds like very significant changes to me.
>>736575847Yup
>>736566046This. Before Xbox those moves from Sony were rare.>>736569572>Western made brandSurely Atari wouldn't find a way to nuke all once again... haha...
Playstation for sure
>>736562296Almost everything bad with consoles would disappear if you got rid of xbox, whether or not PC would infect its cancer on playstation/nintendo would be up in the air though.
>>736562296xbox. microsoft never intended to compete in the console race. they only entered to undermine video games
>>736577060Xbox is a fake choice. They are dying now and everything they did that was scummy was done by those before them, making those changes that they "pioneered" inevitable.Nintendo is also a bad choice, despite being pieces of shit now we wouldn't have gaming today as is without them.Playstation, again like Xbox they are ultimately inconsequential. Them having not existed would not affect modern gaming.Nintendo is the only choice that would have an effect on modern gaming, and it would be a poor one.
The Steam fatso that obliterated PC physical games market.Hope he will die of fat SOON.
>>736562379Playstation? All big Japanese game companies have engaged with woke ideology. Every single one. You can thank their investors for that.
>>736577805Valve is right next to Seattle. When Gabe dies all hell will break loose inside of that company. They've already got the Bluesky link at the bottom of their store.
>>736572913Valve and Nintendo don't, true, but Sony does it even worse than microsoft
>>736577708>Xbox is a fake choice. They are dying now and everything they did that was scummy was done by those before them, making those changes that they "pioneered" inevitable.It wasn't Microsoft forced them because if they couldn't control console/PC gaming, no one could. Now that everyone caught on, they lost and are now retreating to AI. Xbox Project Helix is their one and done exit strategy that Xbots are too dumb to realize.
>>736577805>gabe tranniesas opposed to tendietrannies and snoytrannies?
>>736562296Steam: making games too cheap and accessible to where it killed AAA and caused mainstream games to get into Live Service out of desperation. Also the Steam Playercount that kills games and promotes reviewbomb and ruins any comeback stories.XBox just needed to drop PCI like the idea that Playstation promoted killing the industry with woke but OTOH I seriously believe the games industry is a lot less memorable without them
>>736579113>making games too cheap and accessible to where it killed AAA and caused mainstream games to get into Live Service out of desperationThey are chasing live services because if they succeed they make all the money even if they have a high failure rate.It was the same shit with MMOs two decades ago
>>736578389You imply Xbots exist in enough amounts to make a dent.
Nintendo has the worst first party games
>>736581248>this faggot says this when Xbox existslmao
>>736581248What first party games does X-box even have? All I can even remember is Halo (which is dead), Gears (which has been dead for basically a decade) and Forza (which exists).
I choose to erase myself. Checkmate.
>>736562296if you erase playstation xbox has no reason to exist two for one
>>736581668I don't know, I feel like PlayStation did some positive things for gaming at least with the PS1, PS2, PSP, and from a game development standpoint, PS Vita, early PS4 saved us from the Xbone. Similar to Nintendo and Valve, Sony feels like they're important to gaming, but their western branch needs a good gutting. Xbox, yeah you got me on that, I don't honestly think Xbox has brought a single positive thing to gaming. Nintendo, Sony, and Valve seemed to always fix Microsoft's mistakes.
Xbros... we lost...
>>736562296Xbox>>736562379Being woke is cool, rightoid
>>736568430go back
>>736562296I loved xbox 360... but if xbox never existed not much would have changed. Actually in the long run not paying for online gaming wouldn't have existed and everything that came out on 360 would have just been made for PS3 or PC.>However....The red ring of death got me to get a steam account. Caused most people know to get a steam account eventually. Only friends who didn't were on Playstation.I like to think I would have gone to PC nomatter what, but it really is difficult to say if I would have made the move without the fatal red ring error.
>>736582705>text on top of text>FallenChungusR*ddit's next tab, bud.
>>736562296Xbox, we might have been able to go one extra generation before someone decided to start charging money for online
>>736581248>Coping this hardcan't tell if snoy or steamie, certainly not an xbot lmao
>>736564836>Remove NintendoIt's worse than losing just Playstation... you lose ALL videogames. Nintendo single hanededly revived videogames after the 80s crash.I can live without N64 or Gamecube ever existing, but everything else they made was a must have. Even the wii u and wii.>Remove PlaystationPlaystation 2 made DVDs ubiquitous. They had the beat games. PS1 changed gaming to an adult medium instead of a kids toy. They made massive breakthroughs in 3D graphics and affordability in games by moving to CD.Sure I only have ps1 thru 3 but they never had a bad console.>XboxBasically what this guy said >>736564513 I mean sure it all started well meaning but it caused the whole console landscape to go to shit. It's only crowning achievement is the red ring of death caused people to try steam while they waited for their console to come back. Microsoft is the posterboy for enshitification.Microsoft also opened the door to indie click faggotry and woke faggotry infecting gaming. They really are patient zero for ruining everything. Yeah xbox and 360 were good, but everything else is dogshit.
>>736582752Cry more faggot
>>736562379If PlayStation never infiltrated, Xbox wouldn't even exist since they would have never felt threated that the PC market was going to be damaged by them. Removing PlayStation autoremoves Xbox so this is the right answer.
>>736562296Xbox. This isn't really even a question.
Kill Sony and we kill microtransactions https://youtu.be/cg-Zanga13Y?si=tC_jlIJh5cSDqSXI&t=2197

X-Box. I blame them for the rise of dude-bro gamers and the death of the JRPg golden age
>>736562296I hate modern sony a lot, ever since the ps3 it feels like they dont understand what made their games good. That said the answer is Xbox. >buy half of video game IP>do absolutely fuck all with it>shit the bed for 13 years straight>normalize paid online, games as a service, DLC, constant updates, and more recently game rental through game pass>the biggest contender to killing physical gamesYeah its not even close.
>>736566682Valve has done just as much harm as good for gaming>Loot boxes with TF2/CS>Battlepass with Dota 2>Movie games with HalfLifeJust off the top of my head
>>736569825It says erase from existence, ESL
>>736562296Xbox brought normies in with Halo. Remove that and you kill literally all the evil in the industry today.
>>736581668If I erase Nintendo, PlayStation has no need to exist. Three for one
>>736569316You want to talk anticonsumer?FineWhy do all consoles have lengthy EULAs that state they can brick your hardware?
>>736562296The one claimed patent for "character looking at an object"
>>736585317You can just use google to research questions you dont know the answer to.
>>736585592Which one did that one?
>>736562296Sony is the only correct choice nintendo doesn't push through the terrible industry destroying shit xbox and sony doand every time xbox tries something they get massively dogpiled on for it and punished for doing stupid shitsony does everything xbox does but gets a free pass for some reason
>>736585810I already knowIt's because they're so anticonsumer that the only reason you can even sell plastic is because they have total control over everything else
>>736585912Hmmmm no. Pirates aren't consumers. Consumers are people who buy things. Not people who steal from corporations.
>>736585883Zoom zoom
>>736586074ESL? That had nothing to do with anything I saidBeing a console consumer results in a worse and less functional experience because they own you and control youPiracy offers more functionality than loyalty on consoles, if anything
>>736586206Hmmmm no. completely false. Steam, GoG, and Epic are locked down and have EULAs that will brick your accounts as well. Same as consoles.
>>736586206He's calling all pc players pirates you dumb fuck. Meaning there's no consumer to be anti consumer to
>>736584581Oh, it gets worse, Project Helix will force pay online on you if you use the Xbox Mode, while the Desktop Mode will have free online. That's just stupid when you're already paying $1200 for this thing. Hell, the third party stores won't even first appear in the Xbox Mode, you'll have to exit to Desktop, go on the internet, and download/install them from there and sign in for your other store library to show up in Xbox Mode.
>>736575847>>736576082Somebody else would come up with all of these eventually, it's just won't be XboxIt's like thinking erasing iphone would erase the concept of smartphones, when in reality, somebody else would come up with the same idea anyway You can't erase the inevitable
>>736586367And consoles will brick both your accounts and the hardware Valve has zero power over the hardware And you have no piracy to turn to afterwards because they own your hardware Therefore they're anticonsumer Reminder that Gaben believes piracy is a service problem and they don't give a shit about it while Nintendo is seething and shitting blood over it because they can't compete with it and they have to force people into buying their toys
>>736562296Nintendo.But not because of spite.I would like to see how gaming would have gone after the crash if Nintendo didn't pick up the pieces
>>736586556>And consoles will brick both your accounts and the hardware>Valve has zero power over the hardware No they can't. I'm a consumer, not a pirate. They can brick YOUR hardware. >Therefore they're anticonsumer*Anti pirate. Anti priacy measures are anti pirate, not anti consumer. I already explained this. >Reminder that Gaben believesI don't care.
>>736586642>I am good cattle and I'll stay in my pen and never want rights all PC users have
>>736562296I’ve always supported Nintendo and PlayStation. Never bought a single Xbox console or game.
>>736586707>I'm a PC vegan
>>736586793>Being vegan is when you don't want to be treated like an underage kid with a learning disability
>>736562296bwo xbox is already erased
>>736586851Sure, go with that.
>>736587318Yeah, I'll go with thatConsoles hate their customers so much and patronise them so hard that they get a worse experience than pirates emulating them
>>736587419I disagree.
>>736587620>downvote response I accept your concession
>>736585969Show Nintendo dead during Gen 5, Gen 6, and then with Wii U.
>>736587651I accept your concession.
>>736587802But I didn't concede tendieYou come to a website that's meant for discussions and then refuse to have a discussion You lost
>>736587865I accept your concession.
>>736584853Astro Bot mogs every single one of your exclusives.
>>736587927You're pathetic and a sore loser
>>736569314I don't care. They don't make games so they can go to hell. In fact, so can you and your gay lover here: >>736582272
>>736562592Has to be, right? Otherwise you have to rewrite the 80s and 90s because Nintendo or Sony don’t exist. The question should be: which would you erase from the starting release date of the original Xbox?
>>736587974I accept your concession.
>>736587941Sony doesn't even like Japan Studio anymore, or I guess I should call them Team Asobi now.
>>736587998You have to not be myopic and understand the state of computing as a whole to appreciate valve's work
>>736588124Spamming is against the rules tendieYou should read them, this isn't discord, you're supposed to try being more than a corporate flagellant
>>736588220I accept your concession.
>>736588140and they still make better games than Nintendo
>>736562296can we just destroy them all?i would've said sony 100% but now nintendo is hiring diversity and pro-censorship feminist cunts
>>736586507I'm at least happy Microsoft came in and did it, just imagine if it were Google, Amazon, Apple, or worse Netflix, that did it. Wouldn't even be surprised if Meta was on that list if Xbox never happened. Hell "X" Box could have came from Elon Muskrat in another timeline.
>>736587998So, which company do you work for, Microsoft or Epic?
>>736587941What's your favorite Astro Bot level?
>>736562296I'd remove them all. I'd also remove Valve/Steam, the AppStore, Google Play and any similar "platform".I wish I could just buy a game from anywhere and play on my device of choice, like a fucking movie DVD or music CD.Thank God for piracy. Not ideal but the closest to my ideal experience.
>>736562296Xbox is on its way out anyway so I guess that. I don't think less competition is good.
>>736562379>>736565272What is the Xbox equivalent of this? Genuinely asking.
>>736590024Xbox hasn't been competition for over a decade now anyways.
>>736567571Well... At least it had male and female instead of type A and B.
>>736562496>snoy has made beyond irreparable damage to the industryThe industry can rebuild, Zach.
>>736562663>I fucking dislike Nintendo But you don't hate it
>>736589604bath house battle
>>736564513lmao the hairy fucking indian in a dress. I honestly wish I was brave and shameless enough to do this shit on purpose to make everyone uncomfortable.
>>736566636The only fondness I have for Xbox is Fable 1 and the first 3 Halo games. Those were the only reason I wanted the OG and 360.
>>736569572I miss Atari-posting
>>736581248Even if you don't like them it's a terrible take.
>>736590067Tranny podcast. Sony's western branch is shit, but that's a branch that can be put on a leash by the stronger Japanese head branch. There is nothing saving Microsoft, that cancer is literally at the company's core. That's why everyone outside of them dropped the tranny promoting.
>>736562375TPBP.Only thing I'd miss is Pokemon (which has been dead since Sun/Moon) and Metroid.Nothing of value lost.
>>736590795the playstation division of sony is not japanese their HQ is in california for God's sakes
>>736590970It's probably going to moving back to Tokyo, Japan by the PS6, California is no longer in control of PlayStation. While Sony guts that branch, they've been increasing the Tokyo branch with more and more employees.
If you don't pick green you are an underage faggot who doesn't know their history
Sony. Not just playstation. SonyYes im aware of microsoft and nintendo sucking for a very long timeI dont care because it makes soooo many browns upset
Literally the one and only xbox changed in the industry was introducing paid online
If you kill PlayStation, Sega would most likely stay in the console space and Xbox would never happen.
>>736595881Xbox killed Sega, not PlayStation. PlayStation just beat Sega's ass for the last time. Microsoft used Sega to get into console gaming and then helped kill their console brand by installing plants in their American branch to dismantle Sega to enter console gaming. Again, Microsoft is a cancer, everything bad in gaming starts with Xbox, your so-called Dreamcast 2. Starting to see that name as an insult to the actual Dreamcast now knowing the full story.
>>736595881This anime/manga was such a wet fart. Which sucks because the main girl is really cute. Yes i like glasses and awkward girls
Removing Xbox is the only one that would have 0 downsides.
