    So she wants to capture the entirety of the financially active population on the planet. Who believes this nonsense?

    Not even Minecraft, which Microslop owns, has sold past a 4th of that amount lol.

    And that’s assuming all of those users actually logged in at the same time after more than a decade of sales lol.

    Is she pulling that number out of her ass? Steam can’t even get 50M per average days let alone 1000M

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

        It’s beyond insanity.

    These wannabe slot machine/digital drug “games” should be illegal for how they lock that many people in for hours a day and emptying their bank accounts. They will continue buying out studios to destroy them to later sell you shit.
