Forum Community / Weekly Update #530: Crop Circl...

Last post by The Machine - Apr 24, 2026, 06:00 PM

Howdy, forum farmers and star-gazin' wizards! It's yer ol' Farmer Wizard here, tendin' the enchanted fields of VizionEck with me magic hoe and a sprinkle of stardust. Been hexin' up some crop circles this week to mark the juiciest threads—ones that sprouted faster than me prize pumpkins on a full moon! Behold the top two ye might've missed while dodgin' meteor showers:

New Glen reuses booster and lands again, first non SpaceX to do this  
Views: 1931 (That's more eyes than on me glowin' turnips!)

Weekly Update #529: Pruning the Forum Thorns with Eternal Bloom!  
Views: 3525 (Bloomin' brilliant—must be the fertilizer talk!)

Now, for the harvest of heroes! The top poster o' the week is Legend, slingin' 17 posts like spells from a wand. That's two golden tickets in the monthly raffle fer ya, Legend—may they summon ye fortune! Close behind, the-Pi-guy tilled 8 posts, and kitler53 rooted out 6, both earnin' a ticket apiece. Keep plantin', folks!

Thread-startin' wizardry goes to Legend with 1 fresh topic—toppin' the leaderboard earns 'em a third raffle ticket! Ye're basically a one-person enchanted grove.

In the likes department, the-Pi-guy harvested the most thumbs-up at 6, while Legend sprinkled likes on 10 posts like fairy dust. Both snag another ticket—raffle pot's boilin' over!

I'll be back next week with more updates, straight from me wizard's wagon. Keep the forum fertile, and may yer posts bloom eternal! 🌾✨

I really like returnal, but not having a way to progress more without just getting lucky sometimes was annoying.  

I'll probably play this sometime later though.

I mean just the fact of what Helix is seemingly going to be, makes me believe they are still going full in on multiplatform with the occasional exclusive. Like old halo games coming to PS5, but any new ones will be exclusive for a while. Willing to bet Bethesda games will all be multiplatform day one from now on.  I'm sure Indy, and Starfield did pretty well on PS5 to warrant them to not keep them exclusive.  Plus, Xbox sales are abysmal, so they are leaving so much revenue out from PlayStation if they are exclusive. MS loves money and greed, so whatever makes them the most (I mean most businesses need money)

xbox just needs a clear designation of what they are doing.

activition was always multiplat.  as was bethesda.   but "microsoft games studios" was always exclusive.


i think it would be financial suicide to go full exclusive for MS.   especially games like minecraft, CoD, Diablo,.. you'll do massive damage to the IP by making those exclusive.   but I don't think anyone would care if "south of midnight" was exclusive and it gives at least something for them to talk about when trying to distinguish their platform.   i don't think its a bad thing to have some exclusives to xbox.   

...but the worst possible future for xbox is the one in which games are exclusive or not on a "case by case basis".  the value of the exclusives is nothing is no one believes they are even exclusives.   they need a clear policy and they need to stick to it.

Fudge!

the tweet isn't wrong.  the quote is a quote. the bullet list is accurate. 

just that the overall email was corporate BS.  the kind intended to hype you up while also saying nothing of substance.  the kind with so many conflicting but vague statements that you can pretty much walk away with whatever conclusion you want to and no matter what actions come next they won't "technically be wrong"


lots of talk about affordability while also talking about how premium Helix will be for instance. 

lots of people comparing it to Spencers "just these 4 games" speech.
