    I want a robot horse, like one of my He-Man action figures had. It had like a laser canon mounted on it’s butt.

    This is an absurd number.

    I hate how people just say random stuff that they think sounds good and no one questions it anymore because it fulfils their financial fantasy.

    I was trying to compare this goal with the mobile gaming market, which is undeniably the biggest gaming market out there. Free Fire, a free mobile PUBG clone that became more popular than PUBG itself, had a peak of 150 million daily active players. This means you’d need at least to have the equivalent to 6.7 Free Fires running at the same time to even try to reach a peak of 1 billion daily active players (yes, I know, funny number). And Free Fire was one of those games that blew up like nothing else.

    The quote is

    I want XBOX to be one of the few companies that entertains more than a billion people each day and gives everyone the opportunity to create and connect

    Are they moving into other forms of entertainment like web, or media?

    Sure, go for it. I challenge them to do it.

    Either they go for it and end up actually making something good, or they just well do more of the same and nothing lost

    There are nowhere near this many gamers on the planet. And since you guys (big tech) are literally buying up all the RAM there is you can’t even make new gamers because no one has any fucking money.

      I also don’t have a lot of money for fun because no one is hiring because all the psychotic C-suite think AI is going to replace everyone. Or they think they can just squeeze labor harder and use AI as an excuse.

      But either way, fuck Microsoft.

        Totally man. Whole world is trying to squeeze blood from stone and literally everyone has no fucking money for anything.

        It’s beyond insanity.

    You can say whatever you want now it doesn’t matter. Tesla will have full self driving by 2016! Metaverse will have 1 billion users by 2030! It’s all bull shit.

    Steam is peanuts compared to phone games. Candy Crush Saga has over a billion downloads on Android alone where it’s the #3 top grossing casual game. On Apple it’s still the #21 puzzle game.

    I know that a billion overall downloads is different from a billion daily users. This is just to put it into perspective that Steam is not the benchmark when it comes to the overall number of gamers out there. Mobile is.

      Subway surfers have over three billion installs just from the play version I’ve seen somewhere. That said that means devices not daily active users but still it’s an insane number compared to console and PC.
