In Psychonauts 2, you play as Razputin Aquato, a young acrobat and Psychonaut-to-be fresh off the heels of his adventures in the original game and The Rhombus of Ruin. But I was ecstatic to find out that these worries were for naught, as Psychonauts 2 is everything I wanted from a sequel and more. Even when we knew it was coming, I was concerned about the quality, as sequels made over a decade and a half after the original product’s release are rarely what we hope for. For so long, it felt like we’d never get a sequel to one of the most creative and charming games of the sixth console generation until it got crowdfunded. The first Psychonauts is a real marvel of a game.

This is made worse when you take into account Microsoft's other moves or lack thereof.

What's the point of spewing such rhetoric when the business demands that you charge a premium to those on other platforms? It's even more farcical when you consider Microsoft's image and alleged commitment to letting gamers play what they want when they want. While Microsoft may claim that Xbox Game Pass is transformative and has decided to opt for engagement metrics to justify success while parroting that Xbox Game Pass has resulted in more game sales ( all while some developers have complained that they're yet to see a penny from being on the service) suggests that there's some tension building to ensure that Xbox Game Pass thrives at the cost of everything else. This is backed up by Forza Horizon 5 on Steam for PC having a price that's nearly three times more than what it should be. That said, if we had to speculate, it appears that the company has decided to go with a higher price to incentivise users to play on Xbox consoles or to use Xbox Game Pass.
