Xbox Just Learned It Can’t Charge $80 For Every Big Game

Xbox reversed the $80 asking price for The Outer Worlds 2, but its a reminder that this new standard can't be applied universally.

"I want to support the sweaty boys!" — Fallout: New Vegas director says it's a "mistake" to trade RPG crunch for "super accessible" gameplay, and he's right

Obsidian Entertainment's Fallout: New Vegas director Josh Sawyer says it would be a "mistake" to get rid of RPG depth and "crunch" in pursuit of approachability.
