Worlds in motion

That is what happened 13 hours ago. We are given a story by Ben Graham, which carries the title ‘‘Catastrophe’: Gaming world in utter chaos as Microsoft’s axes 4800 jobs, Sony makes huge call’ (source: news.com.au), I had given my view on the erroneous Sony call, but I didn’t give the setting of Microsoft too much time. Microsoft is really big (over 170,000 people) and there are more stages than Gaming, so as we are given “The cuts at Microsoft include the deepest overhaul in Xbox’s history, with approximately 3200 gaming jobs to be shed over the coming fiscal year, including positions at four studios that are being spun off or sold. It is understood the cuts will affect staff in Australia where 3,000 employees work across six offices.” As I see it, the stage that the UAE gives with its gaming setting of 2033 (see previous story) I am happy that I gave my gaming IP to the UAE. It sounds that the UAE is coming in just in time and whilst I see that Sony has a good grasp on things, the entire setting of no-disc will likely be dropped in 2027, as they see what chaos they would unleash on their brand. I never objected to a no-disc setting, it would not be my choice, but that is beside the setting that Rural gamers all over Europe (likely the America’s too). It is a stage of the Have versus Have not and I don’t like that setting. It is a class war that is brooding and it makes me sick. These wars always come with a larger victim count and a massive amount of resentment. As such I oppose it. So, I am kinda happy that the UAE is going into gaming. As such they are likely to capture the Microsoft gaming population first and depending on what hardware options they select they could get up to 6 billion dollar in stage one, a lot more in stage two. The question becomes what direction they will take gaming in. You see gaming can be several directions and I am against taking something in all directions. It is often better to capture niche by niche and grow from there. The benefit is that as you expend on niches, you can make these niches available to all niche gamers. So they expand to a much larger setting.

As such people can select the paths open to them and as such you gain traction on all fronts you enable. And it is important to vacate the American 80% setting. Each niche needs to be 95% cleared and the 5% should be set to minor stuff. It is a slower route but the results are more clear and almost a guarantee. In this I state almost, because there are many factors. But the only thought towards to worst case scenario is that you gain 50% more when you go for the 95% over the 80% setting and 50% is a big gain. The good thing is that there is motion on several levels and as such the stage of gaming for gamers is decently secure through Nintendo and Sony, but 2 options doesn’t make a population. So in come China and the UAE. China with its Tencent device (no clue how real it is) and I don’t give credence to the populistic YouTube approach. But the idea of Tencent and the UAE has merit on a few levels. There was another side that I was considering, because I have options in IP besides gaming, even if gaming was merely one side to this. There were two other sides and that is how traction is made. 

So whilst some are considering “On the commercial side, she said the cuts would build on Microsoft’s $2.5 billion push, announced last week, to embed 6000 engineers with major clients to accelerate AI adoption.” As I see it, it is a load of nonsense. When these ‘clients’ start to figure out that there is no real AI, that until some issues are resolved it is merely Fake AI, the class actions start to come. I wonder if anyone had looked deep into these AI contracts?  $2.5B divided by 6000 is $417K, the numbers do not make sense. And considering the purchase of Blizzard for $68.7 billion, Bethesda for $7.5 billion and Mojang for $2.5 billion. The question becomes, how much did they make from these three? Ask I see it, they are bleeding all over the gaming field. As I see it, if they even break even, it is because of the PlayStation titles, not the Xbox side of things. I admit it is speculation but consider Bethesda for $7.5B, that requires over 750,000,000 games sold. There are at most 45 million Microsoft consoles sold which means that each Xbox requires 18 Bethesda titles. As I see it, they have less than 9, as such the equation doesn’t work and I won’t even take this to Blizzard with its $68B price tag. The numbers do not add up and before you consider the setting of IP value, it requires someone to actively work on that and as we see from Starfield, that setting is more than debatable. 

But this is not about Microsoft (who I don’t care about), but it is about gaming and that setting need to be protected, so that my friends, me, others, their children and their children children get to play. Microsoft made it some business venture, to make it some form of exploitation (at least that is how I saw it). And keeping gamers safe is a noble goal (still my personal view on the matter). I have no idea what the UAE had decided to in that event, but at present they have a lot more credibility that these American firms ever have had.  Aren’t we lucky that Nintendo and Sony are both Japanese?

So whilst we are given “There has been widespread criticism of Microsoft overnight, with many gamers claiming the company is losing money because it is producing “woke” games that nobody wants to play. “The easiest solution is just look for the pink-haired devs that are destroying your IP (intellectual property) and send them on their merry way,” one gamer wrote on X. “People want good games, but the shoved ideologies into what could be good stories shows why your revenue is down.” “This is good,” another said of the call overnight. “But for it to work, you must also change your company policies to stop driving away your core audiences, and you must do so visibly and clearly.” Criticism also came from the left side of politics, with independent US senator Bernie Sanders blasting the job cuts.”

As I see it, it is one explanation. The second one is rather nasty, these games lately have been really bad. One voice gives us “Starfield starts off slow, taking over a dozen hours of playtime for its mechanics and story to truly click. It is an immense, content-heavy experience that will appeal deeply to fans of Bethesda’s traditional RPG style, but the lack of meaningful, seamless space exploration may disappoint those seeking an organic sci-fi adventure.” I have no real opinion, I saw the intro YouTube and it had something the graphics were good, the interaction are seemingly god, but that is what you get for a 2.5 years old game on the PS5. And now gamers are being told “Starfield fans fear for the game’s future after insider reports on Bethesda’s priorities – it will focus on Fallout, Quake, TES, and other franchises” (source: IXBT) that is what happens when the dollar becomes the bottom line of any game. And that is why Microsoft is seemingly pulling out and putting their money where the hypes are (not that this will do them any good). I see it like a corporation that has taken the stage of a mostly empty shell, so as the pressures mount, there is no substance to give counter pressure and the shell breaks. Someone will always tell me that I am wrong and (often in addition) that I am crazy too. But that is what I see and whilst protecting gamers everywhere is a noble consideration, it might not be enough and as such I see that others have seen that this comes with a decent paycheck or fortune. I saw billions and I reckon the UAE sees a similar pattern. This is where it all is and now as we see some companies (not naming them) are digging (see: prospecting) in the wrong area. As such I have two settings. The one setting is that gaming is essential and it should fuel itself, the realist sees that gaming alone does not make for a decent payment. As such combining the ideas are good for billions, keeping them separated merely allows for millions. It is only one letter but the power is a thousand fold. I see that and I accept that, and as long as gaming is uninhibited, it is fine by me. You can buy a DVD player just for the documentaries, or you can use it to play CD’s as well. The machine is bought, so you might as well use is as versatile as needed and that is where I saw gaming going. The console (or streamer) to also allow for series, movies, music, and optionally other means. This is where the world was going to and I accept that. It was always bound to happen. So whilst some merely focussed on one setting doesn’t mean the other settings aren’t there. And that is what Microsoft missed for the longest time (Sony too).

So, as I saw the UAE taking a bigger stake towards the gaming worlds, I saw a new option for gamers all over the world and it made me happy. So you all have a great day. It’s Wednesday here now.

I made a call

That being said, I only in partiality acted by phone. I used my phone to give a message to his royal highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum that he has access to all my gaming IP. Basically I gave all my gaming IP away to the Dubai Media Council. It was a weird call to make from a person that does not have a pot to piss in, but I considered in mere seconds that it was better to see the United Stated (in particular Microsoft) muddle on destroying the settings of gaming. Better give others a fresh start. You see, Sony has its clear priorities (as does Nintendo) and overall Sony is better served by having a clear competitor that is chasing Sony at the heels. Microsoft is done in all this. As I personally see it, they do not deserve to oink at the gaming truffles, that piggy is done. So whilst I was considering what to do, I saw a message come across LinkedIn by his royal highness and a idea came to mind. I am unlikely to ever make money of all the gaming IP I have, as such it was better to hand it all over to the UAE. Better someone (optionally with an innovative mind) make some good of it.

And at present I am at 3983 stories going all the way back to 2014, wouldn’t it be great that story 4000 shows that my consideration as a gamer would be kicking of its fruits? Over the years I have written lore (for a new kind of RPG) I had ideas on streaming gaming and several ideas of all kinds. Now they might not all be useful, but they all contribute and if it hurts Microsoft, so much the better. Microsoft did this to themselves by harming the tranquility that gaming offers and so far they merely boasted and delivered close to nothing, whatever innovation they claim them had, they merely bought and marketed, the most famous innovation was Mojang’s Minecraft. As far as I can see they have one clear win. The FlightSimulator 2020. No matter how you see Microsoft, that is one hell of a flight simulator. I reckon every flightsim gamer agrees with me and when I bought the ‘original’ in 1985 for the CBM64, I saw something new. It costed me a pretty penny too (NLG 299). It was a magical week for me. Over the years games got graphically better but the innovative step that Microsoft showed with only 64Kb should not ever be forgotten. Beyond that as I see it, there needs to be a new player in that field. And the Gulf News gives us ‘Sheikh Hamdan meets global gaming leaders to shape Dubai’s next growth phase’ (at https://gulfnews.com/uae/sheikh-hamdan-meets-global-gaming-leaders-to-shape-dubais-next-growth-phase-1.500598313) where we see “Crown Prince backs Dubai Program for Gaming 2033 as pillar of digital economy” although it is a statement of currency, the real gamers are bound to make it a seeing of strength (one can only hope) and with “Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, attended the Dubai Gaming Retreat, where he met representatives from 80 of the world’s leading local and international gaming companies as the emirate steps up efforts to become a global hub for the industry.” And not to stereotype gaming, but for some reason I see the stage of Magic Carpet in my mind. What an amazing game that was, now consider that a system which only had 2 MB RAM and  1 MB Video RAM, driven by a R3000 32-bit RISC microprocessor @33.87 MHz was able to give us, so consider now what is possible with a 16 GB GDDR6 SDRAM and 512 MB DDR4 RAM driven by an AMD 8-core Zen 2? It is worlds apart. The first Magic Carpet was pure delight now consider that with the UAE as a backdrop (at the year 800) with the seven locations firmly set there will be happy gleams all over the world whilst gamers can rejoice. 

And I added several other ideas (all unique and original) even the start of a new RPG whilst adding a whole range of improvements to what I saw as optionally weaknesses in Bethesda’s Oblivion. I even reset an idea by Vint Cerf into a gaming setting (one can only design using the greats, even I know that). I don’t think he ever considered that, but I saw options. So when we get to “In a post on X, Sheikh Hamdan said the event is part of Dubai’s commitment to becoming “the world’s new hub for the gaming industry” and a destination for the world’s leading talent, companies and investments in the fast-growing sector.” I decided to react to that and add my own $0.02 by handing all my gaming IP to the UAE. Perhaps it will spark innovation, perhaps it will spark ideas. As a whole the gaming community wins and prospers, as I see it. It would be a decent legacy to hand over to others. 

Currently I am still mulling a few things over and I will write about them soon, that being said, I already gave my gaming IP to the UAE, as such they will gain that too. There is no use in doing things half baked. I just roll that way.

So have a great day, its almost time for coffee, better get dressed for that.

Colouring your coat

That is the term I am seeing, do you? It comes in support of what I wrote yesterday about physical copies. I also added a few points that I felt were important. The BBC however (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0ryjyvjq41o) failed to disclose them and trivializes other parts. As such I am now decently convinced that the BBC is enabling or supporting the Have’s against the have not group. It is a whole new setting of people classification. So as we get the headline ‘PlayStation will stop releasing games on discs in 2028’ it remains a dangerous thought, because whatever advantage they have over others (Steam Deck, Xbox) end there and quite quick, they don’t have any advantage over Nintendo, but they will hand them a truckload of people, right of the bat.

The first debatable setting we see is ““This is a natural direction for Sony Interactive Entertainment to adapt to consumer trends as the general preference for digital media significantly outpaces physical discs,” it added.” It does not adapt consumer trends at all and I reckon that in 2027 they will face had choices for the simple reason that people like physical copies. It might not like the fact that people are forced in a download setting and the United Kingdom has plenty of rural areas, when they learn that Sony if forcing them out of gaming, the battle lines will be drawn. Gaming journalist Vikki Blake calling it a “Body blow to consumer rights” and she is right, it is. Whilst we are also given ““It’s of huge concern for game conservation and a massive problem for gamers with lower disposable incomes who rely on part-exchanging or loaning games from friends to keep up with the AAA price tags,” she said.” As well as ““Just one console cycle ago, Sony made a tongue-in-cheek advert about how easy it is to share games on PS4 as a dig at competitor, Xbox.” Which gives us the second setting, because it was not a mere tongue-in-cheek advert, it was more. Microsoft had seemingly ‘embraced’ the TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership) and so initially did Sony, their terms of service basically acknowledged it, I warned several news agencies of this in November 2013. They seemingly brushed it away. In the 11th hour, they saw the blowback it was giving, so they laughingly brushed it away with the handing of a game disc. Their was nothing tongue-in-cheek about it, Sony got really scared and did away with it in a public joke. So that was what it was and seeing this makes me fume a little. Christopher Dring, editor of The Game Business gives us ““We still see millions and millions of PlayStation games sold as physical goods,” he said. “It’s a significant business and there are lots of players that prefer to buy this way. It’s tough news for retail.”” It is and if Sony pushes this disclose setting they will hurt their own business in massive ways. And it is shown in other means too, as such we see “Sony has also come under criticism for pulling over 500 films and TV shows purchased on the PlayStation Store from people’s collections with no compensation.” There will be a kick around and Sony will not like that fallout. The question becomes why is this done? There is enough evidence not to do that and I am pushed into the squad of a “have versus have not war” the thoughts that Dutch Journalist Luc Sala gave me 30 years ago is now playing part in what was to come into what is about to happen and it is not mere gaming, I reckon that it becomes about what is after that. I am not sure what ‘that’ is, but we will soon find out. 

As I see it, the fact that the entire TPP part was ‘overseen’ gives me the impression that the BBC is embracing the “have’s” in this war and whilst we can accept that everyone takes sides, the journalistic integrity of the BBC is as I personally see it in play, because the journalistic integrity of a place like the BBC should be merely on the fence and not choosing a side, but that could be merely my view on the matter. 

Another side is seen with “The firm said its arrangement with the film production company StudioCanal has ended, meaning it no longer has the rights to sell those TV shows and movies, and they will disappear from people’s collections on 1 September.” I believe it is short sighted, I get that it can n longer be sold, but taking it from a catalog is different from deleting it from anyone who bought it, I reckon that those people are entitled to a download of these series and movies. The materials will be downed in a different setting and we are already seeing that. For example you cannot buy Shogun (2024) in Australia, there is also a setting that in Australia Good Omens (2019) only has Season 1, you can only buy the other seasons through places like Amazon. This discriminatory setting is now getting more and more attention (mainly through hatred of Amazon, which is also wrong) so as these ‘products’ are deleted we will see more and more non-acceptance of these settings and gaming is likely the one place where people unite rather fast. You should ask Microsoft, their ‘online only’ cost them their place in consoles and now whilst they were on par with Sony, they are now trailing towards 1:4, those are strong results of failure, as such I hope that someone at Sony needs to receive their walking papers. This got started somehow and at some point people want to know how started all that. But that is merely my point of view. So I hope that the BBC will soon colour their coat in a more neutral colour.

Have a great day today, it’s Saturday here already and I am a mere 110 minutes away from morning coffee. In Toronto it is still yesterday’s beer-o-clock.

Food for thinking

That is what I saw last night. The source (Tom’s Hardware) an excellent source of information gives us (at https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/playstation/sony-officially-kills-the-playstation-disc-ending-physical-game-production-in-2028-shutting-down-the-playstation-store-on-the-playstation-3-and-ps-vita-systems) ‘Sony officially kills the PlayStation disc, ending physical game production in 2028 — shutting down the PlayStation Store on the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita systems’ and there are two parts in there. The second part the PS3 and Vita store shutdown is less of an issue. The be clear I am still amazed they survived them, the PS3 ended its ‘life’ in 2012 when the PS4 came out and as I see it it was quite a run and for it to be supported for this long only gives credit to Sony. The first part is where my mind wen into overdrive. The end of physical media in 2028. Not a good thing as I see it. I for one love my physical media. And for it to end is not a good thing. Consider the congestion the internet faces in 2028/2029. So at present we have God of War Laufey and GTA6 giving us 150GB-250GB each, now consider that there are 93.7 million PS5 systems in the world, so we are given (conservatively given) 50,000,000 times 200GB that is 10,000,000 TB on day one and this is merely two games on day one. As I see it, the global internet is not ready for that much traffic in a week and this is not the whole enchilada, this is merely a day one setting for two games. We aren’t ready for that and taking into account a whole range of other software, the alarm chimes of congestion will resound all over the internet as such I am thinking that this stage should not even be entertained until at least 2035. I reckon that the global internet has been over 80% upgraded by then (a speculative thought), as such we aren’t even sure when this is ready because even as I love the materials of Tom (and his hardware). There is a thought that this was a mere spark of consideration and I reckon that Sony would ill survive the onslaught of that consequence. 

So how serious is this thought? 
As we are given “I say “anyone could have guessed” because you’d have to have your head in the sand to ignore all the factors pointing this way. The biggest of such factors is arguably the reality that Blu-ray drive production has sharply wound down outside of game consoles. But there’s also the fact that the vast majority of games purchased today are already purchased digitally; in Q4 2025, 85% of PlayStation games were purchased digitally, and if you zoom out to look at the entire US video game market, the PC and mobile markets are already effectively 100% digital.” There are a few wishful thinking parts (like “anyone could have guessed”), but there is a larger setting, even if we consider “85% of PlayStation games were purchased digitally” the setting is nice and I have bought a few games digitally (like classics) but the stage where millions of ‘lovers’ of the god of War and GTA6 trample over the internet to get their copy and optionally more titles. Congest would be a lovely setting and as net neutrality is given its stage of hardship, we need to acknowledge that some voices (like allegedly Microsoft giving some people “we can easily with that traffic”) there is a setting that they want Sony to fail, so that they can revive their failed console, because at that point as a ‘treat’ for their gamers they have revived their top 10 physical copy onslaught and ‘just for the fans’ they are making them steel-box novelties. Or that is how I see their marketing throwing these sides about. This last part is purely speculative, but that is how I would play it and as Microsoft is a lot more sneaky than I am, they must have considered this. Nintendo does not have this setting as their largest game (from sources) set that tone at a file size is FC25 (EA Sports FC 25), taking up 45.8 GB, not really large by any standard and a few other titles are a mere 18GB, so they could play this all in a digital store. But the fans (like me) are still handed that feeling when we pick up our physical copy in a story. The unwrapping of our game, the game card in our console. I still remember the day in October 2002 when I picked up my Super Mario Sunshine. That day was magical in part because that game was a step above whatever was out there.

It does not compare to ‘I clicked the download button’ and that is merely on me and a lot of gamers who think like that. But the setting that the internet on a near global setting cannot accommodate people in rural Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Greece, Sweden, Norway, Denmark,) and a few other places is a real setting. And that also counts in America. Why do you think that the power of Amazon came from? That neglect gave Jeff Bezos billions and now as we see that some are giving strength to gaming in that way is not a negotiable thing. So, I am not sticking my head in the sand. It will go this way, but not until the internet has had a massive upgrade and that is not liable to be in place before 2035. 

So think of this what you will and I regard Tom’s Hardware one of the finest sources. But this caper is bound to be a cut to the revenue of Sony. So, anyone that disagrees, I say fine. But consider the numbers of merely two titles and consider that 30 to 50 true AAA games released globally each year and they tend to take over 75GB each, now consider that my numbers are actually a lot more conservative than expected and it is merely one system, so now consider Steam deck, Sony, 12 Xbox systems (OK, that was mean) and now rerun these numbers and consider that players like Ubisoft tend to put out patches that can range from 10 GB to 70+ GB depending on compression and their titles are out on many systems. Now rerun those numbers again and see how wrong I might be and not in a good way.

So have a nice day and consider the food for though I left you.

Again I feel great

That is at times the setting and it does me no pride to feel good about Microsoft taking another hit in gaming, because the Sony Playstation is still great, but that is in part because the Xbox was close on its heels. Now the only threat it has is the Switch 2 (by Nintendo) and that is pretty much it, so as I had over gaming IP to indie developers (under the condition that it is not created for Microsoft, only Sony and optionally Nintendo too, there are a few others, but no Microsoft. They did this to themselves. So whilst I see now that several are scrapped like ‘Odyssey,’ Blizzard’s survival game was scrapped in 2024 (didn’t they buy that house for $69 billion?), then we get Everwild, Perfect Dark, Contraband and Project Blackbird. So, what use does the Xbox still have? In that context Microsoft is preparing a wave of Xbox layoffs expected to affect roughly 1,000 people and potentially shutter active development studios. So bad news all around and to make matters worse, we get the quote “But as Microsoft doubles down on console exclusives and tries to hurry along heavy-hitters like The Elder Scrolls 6, I’ve got to wonder if it was wise to toss so much in-progress work, some of which was highly praised internally.” (Source: PCGamer), they also gave us two weeks ago ‘Microsoft is looking to speed up development of future Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Halo games’, yet in the side that Xbox is returning to exclusivity, it makes my day in other ways, because  had already (in part) developed the stage for a contender for playing these games, and if that is the case, in that case, the numbers for Bethesda will slump in a major way, according to some “Microsoft has sold an estimated 35 million Xbox Series X and Series S consoles combined worldwide. Because the company stopped reporting exact hardware unit sales in 2015, this total is an industry estimate, and a specific breakdown just for the more powerful Series X is unavailable” and that reflects on the 92 million PS5 units now open to other contenders as well as the more than 115 million PS4 systems. So Bethesda will unlikely ever sell anywhere near the 60 million copies it sold for Skyrim, or the 25 million it sold for Fallout 4 and I created the starting lore of a new IP to replace the gap that Bethesda is leaving in the Sony fandom as well as (I know not how many) Nintendo people will cry over losing the Bethesda games and there will be some desperate enough to get an Xbox for this, but will these numbers really add up to much?

So, will Microsoft chase exclusivity? I get that brands have exclusivity where it counts and now it matters because Bethesda was never exclusive, so what will happen? The fact that there is a lack of information grants the indie developers a chance to break into the Sony and Nintendo vaults with their optional software and as Microsoft is cancelling all over the field, we will get a gap and others will fill it. So whilst we look at ‘Ori director says Game Pass ‘could’ve worked’ if Xbox didn’t ‘slop out mediocre content like a factory’’ (source: Video Games Chronicle (VGC)) Microsoft has a definite lack of stellar games and I don’t know how that is faring as I got rid of my Xbox over a year ago (night have been 2 years ago), so I kinda don’t care, but I did care and still do about Bethesda software and if they won’t arrive on the Sony, I’ll have to forsake the two titles too. But then, I created other solutions and I drew from some of the great games going all the way back to the CBM64 and I seemingly improved on them and as such I feel fine leaving Microsoft out of that setting. So whilst we get Games Luster give us this headline only an hour ago ‘Xbox’s First-Party Studios Face Cuts as Microsoft Eyes Structural Reset’, I already knew that from other sources, but the hindsight is ignored, You see, people see all these stories on their screen and they are now thinking that they have to switch to a Sony (or Nintendo), works out nicely for me, but it is tactically stupid. Microsoft has (according to some) a few trillion (almost three according to some), as such this move makes no sense. Part of it does, but then shut down studios? This gives mixed feelings and structurally unsound stability to the Xbox brand. So as we see “Microsoft is preparing a wave of Xbox layoffs expected to affect roughly 1,000 people and potentially shutter active development studios, as reported by Bloomberg, with the cuts timed to land shortly after Microsoft‘s fiscal year closes on June 30, 2026 – making this not a routine headcount trim but a structural reset of a division that new leadership has already described as “not in a healthy state.”” Add to this the quote “Bloomberg reports that new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has launched a broader turnaround effort that includes slashing marketing budgets, conducting a full review of the game portfolio, and rebuilding the business from the ground up over a stated 100-day window.” If I were Sony (don’t worry I am not) I would be looking into these houses and see if (optionally together with Nintendo) there is anything good there, or at least good enough to fund it to a Sony/Nintendo fruition. That is an option and as such Microsoft has given its brand a lot more competition. And all this happens before the $69 billion for Blizzard has earned its rewarding setting, I reckon that this is still a decade or two away. So in all this, we are given that the stage for Microsoft Gaming is currently (and seemingly) one step away from a deep abyss, the kind that Wile E. Coyote faced many times, I don’t think Microsoft Gaming will survive that step (meep, meep).

The only reason for me to care is that a strong Microsoft Gaming requires Sony to keep on there toes and that is now likely to stop happening. They will still produce great hardware and software, but I fear for the long term innovative thinking of Sony. 

But I am still on the job thinking of new games, so (a delusional me is thinking) there is still hope. But I am not happy about it all, such is life. Time to create a sawmill (snoring).

Have a great day.

Setting any stage 

I have been thinking of where to put my cerebral hardware. I am not one of those FIFA world cup fans and I get that some are, so whilst the world is looking at where their balls are, I am bound towards the IP I create over the last few days. You see, the other option is to look towards Presidents Trump’s stupidity and I have seen quit enough of that. So whilst he is pissing of what little allies he has, the story about Italian PM Giorgia Meloni is going in completely wrong with the Italian people. So another ally lost to the rough sea of accountability. I understand the setting If I was ‘to beg’ Saudi Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud for a selfie, but even then, the chances are that he might allow for this selfie because it might be another fan. So consider that the Italian PM does not even have that for President Trump, he wasted a massive amount of publicity on what would be his setting whilst it was rejected by the global community right off the bat. So whilst I am watching these Riddikulus (pronounced ri-di-KULL-lis) events, I am casting my boggart banishing charm (just in case these creatures can inhabit the internet). Because at present the truth is a lot weirder than fiction can be and that just now opened up a lore setting for the new gam  had not considered before. 

So as I prefer the design of new IP over the idiotic stage of political non-reality reality. I am drawing a new setting of the nano tech. There is still several stages to work out, but the setting is that I ‘find’ a nano tech station, merely one and from here we see that the balancing act becomes amount versus strength, the introduction gives us that part, a ‘tutoring’ setting of the base station.

The nanotech requires energy, so breeding into a lot is not a good idea, because it decreases over time to back to the beginning of one. So you need a balancing act. The station needs enlarging and it requires additions to power cores, drone management and memory. You get the first two in stage one, the basic station, but over time you will find options to enlarge this. The power cores gives you additional power to create more drones, the memory will enhance their memory management and capturing data and share that data towards all the drones you have and the drone management will hand you more powerful drones. So whilst I still like the Paradroid setting, the first stage gets you the ability to to capture Janitorial, Servant and messenger drones. But beyond that you need more powerful drones. 

The setting enables that when you get the number of drones. By enlarging the chipset, the memory is enlarged, the and by getting the power cores enlarged you will manage more drones. And there needs to be a balancing act, you can go ‘the other way’ but you will find that many low level drones do not give you the added umpf you require, but I want the game to enable you because a gamed which allows you to fail will also allow you to enjoy the benefits of evolving your own game. 

So whilst I was seeking out the drone settings, I came across a stage where a few of the achievements came up. The first was the Inspiration achievement, shots of found games (like Paradroid, Hacker and a few others that shows where the ideas originated. I think that it is good that we recognise where our thoughts came from, optionally also the views on a CBM64 and an Atari 800 to recognise where our games all originated. Then I got (because of the lore stage) the idea to the achievement ‘Anorak the All-Knowing’ which gives you the lore settings and you need to find 25 backstories (there will be a lot more) but finding them all might not be possible. 

So whilst I was wondering on how this happened. The republican party helped out with that setting, as Measles is going rampant in the United States (with the CDC has reported over 2,100 confirmed cases and 30 active outbreaks across more than 40 jurisdictions), so what happens when this goes really bad? And whilst you are in a ‘safe’ space, resources are dwindling down and you find the first nanotechnology station. So whilst we advance to more drones and the core 4 (which will allow for autonomous data capturing) when it crossed with memory 3, which allows all data to be auto collected, because the game other whiles becomes too dreary. The drones will upgrade to views where all doors and ports that are open come green-lit. This enabled another path, places with drone ports can only allow Janitorial, Servant and messenger drones. The next ‘phase’ requires Maintenance, Crew and Sentinel drones to use the front door, so will all other drinks, but they are the next stage is for Battle, Security and Command drones but they are deeper into the setting of government and official places. So whilst we have something going, there is the larger need for a game to be repayable and when you get the override of a Command done, you find the option to get to another city or base and it opens up several other options. So from a simple building (like the northeast Bronx, Co-op City, Bronx is the largest housing cooperative in the world Co-op City, the world’s largest housing cooperative in the Bronx. And this is a great start, because it is not some flashy setting, it allows for a whole’s lot of original lore and the I what we are after, so when we get to this setting, for those who love the game, the Command drone could open up a stage that opens up the New Century Global Center (Chengdu), where we get a a staggering 1.76 million square meters. That’s just for starters, the idea to get a government building like the Pentagon mapped out is nice, but too flashy. To get some level of a conspiracy theory in place, we need to look at other places, like (for example) the Karl-Marx-Hof in Vienna, Austria. Stretching over 1,100 meters long, this historical social housing project was built in the late 1920s and originally housed more than 5,000 residents. There is always the chance that it houses a few survivors and gives us the larger setting for more exploration and optionally a larger stage to get a surviver setting in place. The last few things are top of mind thinking, but lets face it, we have seen enough conspiracy yanks to last us a lifetime, so we look in the direction of Europe as one example, optionally the idea of mapping out the Line (NEOM) is a nice setting and it might not have ben completed at present, or in the story, but a location that big, allows for a lot of directions to get us in. And my mind is still forever voyaging into gaming solutions (a nice pun even if I say so myself) and I am not done yet, but with the other two parts (see over the last week) the game comes across nicely and considering that Microsoft hasn’t produced a original IP game for quite some time, my work is standing out nicely. So you all have a great day and who knows we get another Trump story like to one NPR gave us 15 hours ago ‘Italy’s Meloni, once Trump’s closest ally in Europe, says he made up a story about her’, I cannot vouch either way, because I was not there, but the crumbles are all on the floor, time for me to call for a 123 disposal droid and get rid of the crumbles. It’s only nice that someone cleans the stage we all fin ourselves in and call for the 629 sentinel droid to get rid of irregularities. N’est-ce pas?

Have a great day all, I feel happy and creative this day, almost time for a nice plate of pasta, Giorgia Meloni put me up to that. (In truth pasta was planned, so I might just blame her for this too)

There was more

You see, yesterday I came up with a new lore system and it kept my from the real setting of the game, because there was a lot more. The first part was that there was a reason why I felt affinity to Paradroid and Hacker. The idea was that there were two mainlines (I had not chosen yet) the first was that this was a recon setting for aliens, the second was that survivors of this world were working from a separate setting (I fancied that one a little more) and the only way is to interact by invading technology and drones with a nano virus but it needs to be a lot more structured than just invade a server or a combination of systems, But the idea is that these nano bots can only invade systems in combined efforts (like a server and a drone in unison) from there we get to see a larger setting and from one system we can combine systems to invade a CCTV setting, but CCTV settings are often shielded, so you need a path towards that setting. So I has not worked it all out, but there was an evolving setting connected to all this. So whilst we get that any CCTV system has connected systems, we need to combine a larger connected systems to connect to larger and bigger connections, so there needs to be somehow an evolving setting like Hacker, where we connect to a drone and CCTV systems, but how to do that and keep an interesting game? That is the question I was bending over, but not in the way Paradroid did it (it had its own charm) and I didn’t want to plagiarize that. From that setting I merely had the idea that several autonomous systems could be infected, but that is the extend the game had ‘traction’ and I didn’t want it to be too much of a stalking approach, other than the need to find out what had happened to the people of that place (like a viral attack, or simply a air-conditioning defect) So whilst I was focussing on elements of the game, I was designing the game in real time, because that is how my mind works and the setting is that different devices had its own versions of Lore, so they are all stories, often not connected and it gives the overwhelming feeling of data. That is bound to happen in all these settings, so how to focus that? I gave the lore setting a go and from there the lore was bound to all kinds of things and I had to create a decent amount to overwhelm the senses (and the game) with lore that might seem bound to have a connection. So there I was in what some would seem a steady stream of data, but what is relevant? You cannot have a ‘data game’ with no responses and all relevant data, that is not how it tends to work, but I was trying to figure out how to get to the good stuff and an overload of data tends to be the setting in many cases. So whilst we ‘infect’ drones and systems, we need connect elements and find a way to connect to a system, the best option is to infect a drone and see where the connection tends to go, so we get two locations already and the evolving nano system has limits in the beginning, so it needs several of both for the nano system to evolve into a stronger system, it needs to develop, just like a real nano system does. But autonomous nano tech is not ‘up for grabs’ and as such I had to evolve the ideas in my brain on how to evolve these settings. 

So whilst I was considering all that, the lore system evolved in my brain and it had many connected benefits and it could benefit the future of larger gaming, because lore tends to be the larger setting for many RPG games and a game about hacking and data has an abundant of that, so while there is a need for the lore, the idea of lore writing itself making the game replay-able has benefits. So does the idea of creating a CCTV mesh of data for an entire city. But that is another mess to consider. What mattered is that I had to figure out how a nanotechnology system could evolve. There is the ‘breeding’ setting where systems provide the resources to breed (like connecting a resource to a router or a dead drone), from there we get more nanotechnology at our disposal but I was still working this out, so when we get more resources we get more nano tech to work with, yet here is also the limitation, although a dead drone could provide thousands of drones, they are stuck un a place, as such we need to connect one to the other and that is part of the puzzle I am working on and how to make this a decent part of any game is the puzzle 

I need to work on, an idea is nice, but how to work this out is the puzzle a designer needs to focus on, because not every idea makes a decent game and that path is riddles with the carcasses of optional great ideas and it still beats the news junk on how newspapers are trying to voice the setting that a ‘great idea for peace’ is not the setting that Trump got played by Iran and how Israel is set towards inaction against people that are trying to destroy Israel and they will not stop, so all that settings are a bit dreary and not worthy of my time, or at least that was how I felt about that yesterday, all whilst we are getting less than an hour ago ‘Trump’s Deal Sidesteps Key Reasons He Went to War With Iran’ (source: Wall Street journal), as such we will see more ‘news’ on the setting that the USA is too broke to be considered a player on the world stage. You see some claim “According to U.S. Treasury financial statements, total federal liabilities have grown to nearly $48 trillion against roughly $6 trillion in assets, leading some economists and commentators to label the government as technically insolvent.” (Source: Yahoo News) Or the fact that “The national debt exceeds $34 trillion, equating to a debt-to-GDP ratio of over 123%” (source: Forbes) and I have been saying this since ‘About America, chapter 11’ Which I published on August 26th 2014, almost twelve years ago (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2014/08/26/about-america-chapter-11/) as such you have all these economic professors who ‘object’ to that setting whilst the setting of the last year are showing me to be the correct party, even though I have no economic degree, I do know data., I have been dabbling in data for decades. As such the game came to my mind and as such the avoidance of the ridiculous war setting was invading my mind for weeks, because at present ‘Trump lashes out at “fools” who oppose Iran deal amid bipartisan criticism’ (source: CBS News) and ‘Senate Republicans raise alarm over Trump’s deal with Iran’ (source: the Hill) as I see it, soon there is no place for the media but to go and delve into the insolvency of the United States, perhaps this president could use the Epstein files to divert the eyes of the media? (evil grin forming on my face), not to mention the musical acting of ‘Republicans slam Trump for caving to Iran in ‘disaster’ of a deal’ (source: Rolling Stone Magazine) an if you consider that the bulk of the media never really liked President Trump, consider what they will publish now. And this is all before Iran sees its way to cry to the courts of international law in The Hague, so there is that still coming and all this could have been foreseen if someone served the power players coffee in the Pentagon, I think it is spelled ‘Covfefe’ (source: President Trump, first presidency) a setting that was clear from the beginning of March, but now that setting will hit the Republicans squarely in the face, as such it might become the most humorous midterms in November 2026 and I reckon that there aren’t too many Republican fans at present. So whilst those up for midterm elections are bound for the unemployment lines, we will see an abundance of mis-categorisations and as such this might be the turning point where the west is seeking a new player that could align with the Commonwealth and the EU and I personally am putting my money on a larger cooperative with Commonwealth, EU and the Arab states, the other option is that the Commonwealth and the EU will align with China. I think the second one is not readily accepted in the EU and parts of the Commonwealth. Still, the cooperative with the Commonwealth, EU and the Arab states could bring prosperity and optional good times for China and whilst the EU is pulling back from Microsoft and the United States hosting of over 4000 data centers. So when do you think well over 10% will be pushed into bad mortgage setting and written off to a rather large degree. All settings that will end an abundance of revenue and set the larger data settings off limits. I have no data to support this, but the crumbles of data are all over the place, the question becomes how connected are these slithers of data? I will let you decide, I have to put some effort in creating a new game, which is much more enjoyable than any political setting. 

So you all have a great day and someone keep an eye on Iran and their connections to Hezbollah and Hamas and when they will ‘miscommunicate’ their intent and it all starts all over again.

Out of the pink

Yup, that’s me, not out of the blue, so I had to think of another colour. Out of the Teal was too close to blue, so it defeated the purpose, then there was red, but it was too aggressive. So, out of the pink it became. My thoughts tend to be all over the place and I was thinking of the old Activision game Hacker. So, consider that it was based to what we thought it was thinkable in the 80’s (with only 38KB memory). This is not a setting we need to consider today, the average mobile has 10 times the memory we used to land on the moon, as such we have some degrees of freedom. The issue becomes when we consider a multitude of games like Hacker and Paradroid. Not to copy, but the settings there is one that can lead to all kinds of new IP and these games are lost and mostly forgotten. So consider that we have an AI setting (an Actual True AI) so we get that to play with, but the sinister setting is not that it is all it is cracked up to be, because the people were gone decades ago and now we get to resolve what there is. So in comes an unknown entity (largely unknown) and it can resolve the settings it sees with tech more advanced that we have seen over the coming century. So the game starts as an observation game, but the video links are giving us clues. From there, we get to the industrial stage. These systems can replicate, but they need fuel. So its first function is search for fuels it can use to replicate. At this the link to Paradroid comes into play. We get to ‘infest’ the visible droids we see and they can set us towards new areas. And from there we get to new places and see new things. I partially write bout this before (somewhere last year) and set it to an Earth-Mars setting, but with disclosure day upon us, we can take a much further aim to what we are looking for. More importantly, this could be a near infinite game. I don’t believe in infinite, but near infinite is a much nicer way to tell the audience, this is a game that could fuel you for a long time. So if the goal is conquest, we can always see the edge of what we can do and see, but if the goal is data, that setting becomes near limitless. Consider the ‘aliens’ in AI, if this is what we envision, what would be the edge of what they would see? 

There was something serene about that view by Steven Spielberg. I am still curious how Stanley Kubrick would have set that pace (because it was a little too sweet for his view on matters) but that is my interpretation of what I know of Stanley Kubrick and that gave me the setting on the creation of lore in the stores that this game could stage. You see, there is no real AI, but there is the setting of DML/LLM and lore can be spun around those two stages. You see, we can go about it again and again, but when you get a repetitive story, the fun dwindles down to a small trickle. So to counter that, we need to create a intelligence that uses the internet (in part) to set the stages for millions off gamers and hen we get a stage where we have the profile of dozens of writers (from Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, Edgar Allen Poe, George Eliot, Homer (not Simpson), Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes, Plato, Herodotus, Miguel de Cervantes, Harry Mulisch and it is not based on one writer, as we get elements of romance and intrigue intertwined the result is a mix of Jane Austen/Charlotte Brontë whilst the intrigue part is set to George Eliot/Herodotus and these aren’t mere settings, the intelligence is vast and diverse, as it needs to be, so the connections are towards a gaming mainframe that passes along the lore towards the stage of play. This would be a monumental undertaking and it is not a given that it is simple. But this level of diversity has never ever been achieved and that is where the larger benefit is. A stage where we see a multitiered Producer-Consumer Model that has s fas as I considered it never been achieved in gaming before, so this will take a level of understanding that is unique and could become the game changer and it makes sense as it is not merely a ‘single setting’ this could be the evolving door towards RPG lore creation. The writers are known, but the materials it creates are a diverse amount of layers that were never part of these writers. It becomes a whole new field of IP and even as AI doesn’t exist, DML and LLM do and they do all the heavy lifting. It could also diversify the engines that are currently in existence. So we see Steven Spielberg and Stanley Kubrick, but what happens when we replace the stage from Steven Spielberg and replace his settings with Graham Greene? What do you think that does to the lore of the story, when AI gets a distinct ‘The Third Man’ touch to the story? This is what we aim to go for, where we get to the story, what happens when the elements become interchangeable? Don’t think that I cam sup with this and it is simple. This might be the next stage in gaming and it becomes a much larger setting towards the exploitation of gaming lore. And exploitation is about right, because we might be harvesting writers style, but this setting ha never been done and that is the solemn goal of any designer, to be the one making a difference and as far as I can tell, this has never been tried or even succeeded before in gaming. But that is what makes the next idea exciting. Not merely because it is new, but because this approach towards dynamic lore has never been achieved and perhaps there was a reason for that in the past, but we have a lot more space than the CBM-64 about 64,000,000 times more and that is merely for the storyline to be created and when that works we can focus one the long term approach of making an actual never-ending story, the insert of the sacrificial Artax becomes optional. But that is my sick sense of humor and I am still privy of making Sir Hiss (Terry-Thomas) becoming the rope that saves Artax, but that is my sneaky sense of humor. 

So you all have a great day and consider the hints I have in this story, so where does this make waves? It’s up to you to see where this is possible.

Merchandise

That is the stage and the setting. You see I have been replaying the God of War games, because in the near future God of War Laufey will be released and I needed to get back into the lore of the game, which is nothing short of miraculous. So, as I was playing the game. I was considering merchandise. And I have seen several things in the God of War range, but never these ones and considering that God of War has over 76 million copies sold and therefor the fans run into the tens of millions. People have made wagers on a lot less. So lets take two examples.

The first one are these chests that Kratos smashes his fist through and Atreus uses his bow to smash (bad use of a bow) they have goodies and that is it, but what if there are three options. The first is a small one and fits on a desk with storage for office goods (paperclips/memo pads) you know the usual suspects on a desk. Optionally open holding pens and pencils. Then there is the medium version which could hold your treasured PS games, optionally 4k/Blu-ray too. Open the box and your favorite games are there for the selecting, for perhaps you have a urge to keep your Star Wars movies in a separate space, all options that make a room look cool, then there is the large version and that one is debatable. A small chest, an actual chest. We don’t think of them, like this anymore, but in the 60s/70s we had hope chests. A hope chest is a wooden chest or trunk that would store special items for a bride to use when she got married. Although, over time, the tradition has changed. My father altered a fruit chest (painted it too) to keep all my toys in (he called them my personal rubbish bin) So we get a supercool looking toy chest, or for whatever reason you want to use it for, the setting is that a chest like that might find a rather large interest and as the game carries love and favour of the gaming community, so will the merchandise. 

The second one are the coffins that are ‘freed’ (read: looted) by Kratos and company. These would be just in the small version and would hold pens, so your office or private office gets the cool stamp all due to the efforts of Studio Santa Monica, I reckon that they will act on this as it is their IP, so nothing for me (alas). But a good idea should not be stopped merely because it is not mine to wield. The idea is still sound, so I wonder why I have never seen these items in places like EB Games, JB Hifi or whatever localised stores you have. I reckon that there is coin in this idea and with millions of fans and the upcoming Laufey plus the setting that we are getting closer to Christmas and Thanksgiving, Santa Monica Studios wanna run like Santa to get in on this action. The simple reason that it is an almost guaranteed success and they already did the ground works for their games. I have no idea how this will play in Laufey, so there might be more, but that is up to Santa Monica Studios to cash in on. 

Merely putting the idea out there. Have a great day, almost Tuesday and my tooth is hammering in pain, so it is close to my highly needed overdose of Paracetamol, Codeine and Oxycodone so I can get some sleep. Life is not always feeling like roses, sometimes the thorns sting.

Outage, is that an outtake?

That is the setting that Microsoft introduces to its ‘flock’. First we see that Copilot has its second outage this month (which amounts to once a week) and now we are given that ‘Xbox Network outage leaves players unable to sign in and launch games – latest’ (source: GamesHub) we are given “Reports of an Xbox outage began circulating on Friday, 12 June, with users saying their consoles were connected to the internet but unable to properly access Microsoft’s online gaming services. Some players have reported temporary network error messages, while others have said games will not launch or connect online.” Is there anyone still in doubt that physical copies are the answer? In addition we are given “The outage is likely to be especially frustrating for Game Pass subscribers and digital Xbox users, as Microsoft’s ecosystem depends heavily on Xbox Network for account sign-in, game ownership checks, cloud saves, multiplayer, and access to online features. Even players not actively trying to play multiplayer games may run into problems if Xbox services are unavailable.” And my reasoning was simply that there are three paths before we get to a Microsoft server, namely the telecom company, the internet provider and the hardline to Microsoft. The first two tend to be one and the same, but that wasn’t always the case. And I reckon that in rural places this matters a great deal more. Now, I get that this affects Game Pass and that is rough, but the setting is likely to increase when the internet gets to be swamped by people trying to play a game and it is hindered by others having business settings. It is why I always supported Net Neutrality, which implies the principle that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) must treat all data on the internet equally, without discriminating, blocking, throttling, or giving preferential “fast lanes” to certain content or platforms. But the United States has seemingly different ideas, or at least that is where they are seemingly heading under the current administration. 

As such I have been a lifelong fan of physical media and some people say that this also comes with issues (like updates), but that is a risk I will happily take. That being said, the HALO patch in 2014 was the largest ever seen (45GB), as far as I see, the damage has been limited for the largest time. And according to CNet, Microsoft has its own moments of generated laughter “The massive Microsoft Windows outage in July 2024 sparked some of the best corporate and tech-support humor the internet has ever seen. Sparked by a bad software update from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike rather than Microsoft itself, it stranded travelers, grounded flights, and gave millions an unexpected “international blue screen day””

We can laugh all we want and these are optionally bad moments for Microsoft, but the reality is that Microsoft over the products and versions (and systems) have done decently. We can argue (whatever we want) but the downtimes of Microsoft seems to be (by my account) rather low, so they are doing OK in that setting. Yes, I am writing about it, but consider the moon of people using Microsoft and we have three outages this month alone and I am cautiously considering that the Xbox and Copilot outage are possibly related (so our numbers are double dipping). 

As such there is a ‘Microsoft’ issue, but it should optionally be disregarded like a typo on a keyboard. And when was the last time you had a typo on your keyboard? I have them with some irritating regularity, which amounts to at least once daily. In my case my mind works a lot faster than my fingers can correct for. Microsoft might have a similar setting, but that is not for me to say. And whilst some will ‘hide’ behind ‘Microsoft Copilot Goes Down for Thousands, Downdetector Shows’ revealing an article that is less then 300 words, but it took time to reveal that you can advertise with them. Not the way I would embrace, but I don’t advertise as such. So, whilst we wait for the news that the Iranian issues are resolved, some hear President Trump say that a peace deal could come this weekend (source: ABC) whilst the BBC reports ‘Tehran says ‘nothing’ finalised after Trump claims deal to end Iran war near’, it’s been a while since politicians were less reliable than Microsoft ever was. All whilst Politico reports ‘Trump says Iran war has ended. Tehran isn’t so sure.’ So what really is happening in anyones guess. But there is always the chance that all these reporters are fixating on typo’s. Wouldn’t that be the outtake of a lifetime? Have a great day this day.
