Re: Vision Pro, while they've only shown games on a big screen, in the press release you linked they seemed to differentiate between those and new "spatial" games:
"New spatial games, including Game Room, What the Golf?, and Super Fruit Ninja, take advantage of the powerful capabilities of Apple Vision Pro to transform the space around players, offering unique and engaging gameplay experiences."
Hard to tell without knowing more, but that sounds an awful lot like a more traditional VR experience.
the only “interactive” show ive watched on netflix is battle kitty
and while it isn’t necessarily a key part of the show itself, it uses that interactivity in a cool way, basically making navigating to each episode like a video game map
multiple world maps across different locales, lil shorts that are off the main path
Great first full post, Steven. Lots of terrific reporting and the SoT info is especially interesting, seeing as how it could, potentially, point to a thawing of the very icy relations between Microsoft and Sony right now. Unrelated, and sorry if you've already addressed this, but how do you feel about the creators of Substack being ok with, and profiting from, publishing hate-speech newsletters on their platform? Thanks.
Sorry to nag you on your first full launch post, but why does this keep referring to Sea of Thieves as free-to-play? I game on PC primarily but I don’t have game pass and it’s $50 CAD on Steam.

I would love a decent pirate game, where you pillage and plunder, upgrade your ship, crew and base that’s offline.
The best one I’ve played. Assassins creed Black Flag.

Maybe Xbox could trade Sony Sea of Thieves for Last of Us. As an Xbox player that would be great.
Excellent post, Stephen! I loved listening to this (love this listening feature of Substack, too) and can't wait to consume regular content 🙌🏽
