    Why does that look like a miniskirt/boy-briefs from behind, with the X conspicuously centered?

    I remember when the current generation of consoles came out (Series X/S and PS5) that both MS and Sony and all the various gaming magazines were claiming that they would be the last hardware consoles ever. Uh huh.

      Maybe they realised cloud gaming is shite. Yeh for some it suits but look up the abandoned cloud gaming projects.

        Probably. But I still find it funny how they were pushing so hard into making people believe there would be no more hardware generations.

      They already cancelled the streaming box they were making (Project Keystone). And they aren’t the only ones making streaming services for gaming.

      Why would they need to release a new console for game streaming? The advantage is that it can run on anything. It would also guarantee that Sony wins that generation before it even begins.

    Fuck microshit for their predatory pushing of game pass and not being able to own games. I would never buy an xbox and hope others don’t fall for it as well.

      People also seem to genuinely believe MS won’t just massively inflate prices once they’ve cornered the market lmao

      The current gamepass pricing is unsustainable. There’s a reason why MS refuses to say how much money they make from it (if any) and they lump it in with other stuff in their financials.

      I can easily envision a future where gamepass is £30 a month or something, but because MS has bought a lot of studios and people don’t own their games, people have to choose between continually paying that price, or starting all over again with zero games, and not being able to buy a decent amount of the big games, because they’re only on gamepass.

      Either that or it ends up like TV streaming where we have to have 5 different subscriptions to access all the games we want access to.

      Fuck that. We shouldn’t let either of those things happen.

        I didn’t say people wouldn’t be able to buy any games. Please don’t strawman.

        What I said was that plenty of people won’t own games (due to gamepass being sold cheaply initially), then when MS massively jacks up prices, people will have to choose between swallowing that and buying all their games again at whatever the retail price happens to be.

        It’s a trap designed to extort people in the long run.

        The other thing I said was that some games will be exclusive.

        Please address things that I’ve actually said, not things that you’ve imagined I’ve said.

          I didn’t imagine you saying anything. I didn’t address anything you said because I didn’t reply to you. I just wanted OP to expand on what he meant by “not being able to own games”
