Seems like the most obvious choice. I can't imagine more than 100 people would honestly use this feature. I mean that sincerely.

Very cool. I’ll still likely tackle it next year.

Coop is huge for this game so its a considerable loss, but still better than not releasing at all indeed.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I hope so too, but this reeks of a "one time deal" since the game has become a massive hit and Xbox has egg on their face that PlayStation got a free exclusive.

Good news. Larian should get 3 successful launches out of these releases.

Yeah, forced parity for optional features should not be mandatory.

Flood gates just opened, good move Microsoft. With this the door opens to have current gen games not have the albatros around their neck that is series S.

No but now more and more games will be losing features on the S. By the end of the gen I'm sure it'll be fairly common, in fact, to have stuff that just won't work on it.

It's the right decision.
As will be the class action lawsuit.

At the end of the day, $$$ won out, as usual. The genie is now out of the bottle. Parity is dead, rightfully.

I guess now I just wait to see witch subscription service gets it first. That’s when I will likely play it. Not being a physical copy on console will prevent me from buying it for a while. So next year was always going to be when I played it anyways.

Is there online co-op? I can't even think of many games that have split screen at all today. I always thought it was kind of a bizarre fixation for this team.

Ah yes. I forgot a part.

Yeah that'll go over well for Microsoft. Shaft a bunch of users who were promised 1080p versions of Series X games.

There is, there is even split-screen + online coop. Coop is just a huge selling point for their games.

I mean, they should have seen this coming at some point.
