Stardew Valley's 1.6 update caused a huge surge in players

Stardew Valley finally got its long-awaited 1.6 update, causing a huge surge in players that broke the game’s concurrent player record on Steam. The game’s previous concurrent player record was set back in 2021 when 95,000 players all jumped on for some quiet farming. The new 1.6 update has demolished that record though, with an impressive 146,159 people firing up the game to check out all of…

Things I don't like about Nintendo:

Making games impossible to play again (Vimm's Lair getting raided by a bunch of companies including Nintendo, online stores getting shut down by Nintendo, more than one subscription required for some NSO Virtual Consoles like Genesis, N64, and GBA, lack of regional translations and ports, etc.)

Taking down fan creations (fan games, mods, music remixes, gameplay videos, etc.)

Putting limits on the monetization of tournaments featuring their games (https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/63433/~/community-tournament-guidelines)

Shutting down online services for consoles that are still very popular and used frequently (3DS getting shut down recently.)

The Switch and a few of the more recent games on it being not that great (Pokemon especially, I'm pretty sure the Wii ran better and it's almost 17 years old.)

Now I know that Nintendo isn't the only one that does this. Microsoft, Sega, and Sony aren't that great with their older games (though some of those are better than others), but Nintendo is much worse and much more strict. Sega doesn't even make consoles anymore, and modding isn't as popular on PlayStation and Xbox platforms due to it being tricky, but their games that are on PC have had plenty of mods, and the companies have no issue with them. I've heard the Xbox Series X/S isn't too good, same with the PS5, though I haven't noticed whenever I used my friend's consoles, and I have an Xbox 1 and PS4. The consoles are also definitely better than their previous gens, which is hard to say with the Switch (hot take, I prefer the Wii U 💀).

Games Xbox should bring to PS5 or Switch, unless they're cowards.

Did you hear the news!? Xbox is probably bringing some of their previously exclusive games to PS5 and/or Switch and this will almost certainly bring about the end of humanity as a species.

But the games that have been rumored so far; Hi Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves, and Pentiment, are boring. Those are lame. Worst of all, those make total sense and are probably the smart choices for games to bring to competing consoles.

Where are the wild swings? Where are the bombshells? Where are the games that make the fanboys seethe?

I don't work for Xbox, but if I did, here's a list of games I would recommend Xbox bring to PS5 and/or Switch to make infinite money:

3D Pinball for Windows - Space Cadet

Literally the best prepackaged pinball game for Windows of all time. Apparently the license is in all kinds of legal hell, but imagine the crowd popping for the reveal of this classic coming to PS5 at The Game Awards. 15 minute standing ovation, minimum.

Windows Phone

Despite Apple and Android having basically the entire market share of the cell phone space, NO ONE has the market share of cell phones on video game consoles! Imagine, if you will, Microsoft announces the return of Windows Phone not just on a new handheld Xbox device, but on the Nintendo Switch and PS5 too. It's an untapped market!

Microsoft Excel 2

It's been 36 years since Excel came out and fans are still waiting for a sequel. What better way to have a sequel for one of the most used programs of all time to reach more people than by making it multi-platform? Update it with new graphics, a new roguelike mode, and crossover skins with Halo and 3D Pinball for Windows - Space Cadet. Give the people what they want.

Xbox Games with Gold

Ok, so Sony and Nintendo have made it abundantly clear that they won't allow Game Pass on their consoles. Fine. That's fair. That's their choice. So offer them the next best thing: bring back Xbox Games with Gold, exclusively for PS5 and Switch. No one would see it coming! $5 a month from PS5 and Switch users in exchange for games players have literally never heard of. It's a STEAL of a deal.

So there you have it. Xbox is looking for the treasure map to a hidden treasure, and I've drawn a big red X on the map. Or maybe a green X because that's their whole thing. Yeah. Yeah I drew a green X.

Enjoy the wealth, Xbox. You're welcome.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is heading to Xbox

It looks like Kena: Bridge of Spirits may finally be making its way to Microsoft’s console, indicating that PlayStation’s time exclusivity agreement is over. Kena launched on PlayStation in 2021 and while it was never officially confirmed, many people speculated that developer Ember Lab may have signed a timed exclusivity deal with Sony. Ember Labs themselves confirmed this in an interview with…
