And, as of this week, the Xbox One is backward compatible with over 550 Xbox 360 titles - 200 of which I already own! That's, like, 60% of my library - not the 90% it should've launched with, but a pretty good start. I haven't felt this unashamed to be an Xbox user since the last Summer of Arcade, five or six years ago. This must be how sports fans feel when their team passes them in the hall without shoving them in a trash can for once.


That's great news. I hope the fact that Microsoft will destroy both of these companies isn't lost on anyone. Listening to Feagus and Fargo talk about the resources Microsoft will have for them is pretty great, but I think the standard playbook is:

- You get acquired by Microsoft or EA.
- You MAYBE get to finish what you were working on without too much interference... maybe.
- For the new games, you shit out excrement that is Windows and Xbox exclusives. People start to romanticize the way your company used to do business, not sure if that will happen to inExile because the RPG Codex crew hates them so much because Fargo dared to treat them how they treat him.
- No player ever, ever, EVER notices a single feature, fix or advantage of the company working with Microsoft or EA. Nobody played Syndicate Wars saying thank god EA bought Bullfrog.
- The studios get shut down
- The creators of the studios make new studios.

I don't know what Obsidian is working on, but Wasteland 3 will be the last inXile game.
