Subject: You are now in charge of microsoft

The title says it all. You now control everything related to Xbox, and Xbox live. You also have other products, but they arnt really important. So, what do you do first?

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

Yeah, with all this goddamn sponsorship taking up more space than your own settings you'd think that it would be cheaper.

Nothing, because I would be terrified that anything I do could destroy the company.

Probably you'll just end up destroyed the 'Xbox department'

- Make all DLC 75% more of what they cost now
- Turn off all the popular games for a week
- Have a 5GB update for every game
- Make arcade games cost the same as normal games
- Bring back the old dashboard

  • 12.15.2012 8:15 PM PDT

I used to be indecisive, but now i'm not sure.

I'd sell control of the company to Sony for a lamb sandwich.
I'd really love a Sony console with the Xbox 360's controller.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

Make XBL free. It's -blam!- 2012 and Xbox gamers still have to pay for online.

  • 12.15.2012 8:16 PM PDT

Hmmm, I don't know what to say...

-Make Xbox Live free
-Make 343 read forums from all over the web about what Halo fans want for the next game (return to roots, perhaps?)
-Enable hax to only my account
-Profit?

Xbox 360 style controllers are made by lots of 3rd party companies for the ps3.

Bobcast is paid in MILF blind dates.

First priority would be to get some new IPs.

Make Xbox Live free (or significantly cheaper), and bring back LIVE support for pre-360 games (especially Halo 2).

Then I'd sell the company to Valve and move to California.

There probably is a few new IPs lined up, but considering this generation is nearing its final days, they're waiting for next gen.
That's my theory anyway.

Decrease funding from the xbox and put more time and focus in improving the PC experience.

Sell cheap pre-built pc's (since many people don't want to build there own)

Overall improve the PC market, also bring back some of the awesomeness 90's microsoft had.

My DeviantArt Gallery - For my Photoshop stuff, go have a look!

Well, Xbox wise:

- Give devs fuller control over pricing, if a company wants to release DLC free, let them.

- Remove the large cost for Title Updates, letting arcade devs fix their games.

- Cut down on the price of Gold, remove ads for gold. Keep ads for silver members.

- Rework the dashboard.
