By the sounds of it, employees are being told that they need to be in the office, but if they can't, Microsoft will outsource the labour to contract workers who also aren't in the office.

Don't click on the article then. It's like you want it to get you angry. Unless you are trying to be spicy for attention, in that case, I am happy to oblige.

Now move along, the adults are talking.

@NEStalgia

I would agree with that assessment. Even with COD day one on Game Pass, I have zero interest in playing this game. I am playing the crap out of Dungeons of Hinterburg for some reason.

I am playing through Hinterburg right now and cannot believe how fun this game has been. It's as if Old School Zelda's puzzle dungeons and Persona's social links had a baby.

@NEStalgia

Bundle it with Amazon Prime for a few bucks more. It seems like a no-brainer. Then market games like Bejeweled, Bluey, and Dreamlight Valley and you have a potential success. Then after people start getting into the more complex games, hit them with a Series S or X.

You know what...You are right.

Xbox fans are some of the most hard done by bunch of gaming fans this side of Bloodborne stans and you don't deserve this BS with GamePass. You guys have stuck through some hard times with Microsoft and as the veil starts to lift after a great Summer Games Fest...BAM price increases, negative reward changes, and neutered features.

I don't say this often as it's hyperbolic, but, SLAP IN THE FACE seems appropriate.

I think they are marketing this to the wrong people. Hardcore and Hobby gamers do not want this as their main way to play games. However, this may be fun for casual gamers to play some cozy, or puzzle-style games on the living room tv for a rainy afternoon.

The problem is that cloud streaming is only available through Ultimate (is this right?) and that's not what casual gamers need. With this Amazon thing, there should be a less costly cloud streaming-only feature. So as of right now, pointless

@NEStalgia

no worries. I actually though it was 22 bucks when I was kicking it around. I love Forza Horizons and I am looking forward to playing the new games I would never buy outside of getting them included in a service. Flintlock and Kunitsu-Gami look good and I can't wait to see what else gets added in the fall.

I did my best everyone. I bought an Xbox and subbed to Ultimate last month but I guess it was too little too late. Sorry to let everyone down.

@Isca

I am over 50 as well, and I can tell you I probably have more time to play than ever before. After my kids moved out I converted one of their bedrooms into a game room. It's like my midlife crisis sports car.

i just got my Xbox 2 weeks ago. Enjoying Forza Horizon 4

@NEStalgia

Forza Horizon 5 just feels smoother than any other racing game I have played on ps5. I am not sure how to discribe it. Like my eyes are able to focus properly within the field depth. I don’t know. It’s weird.

@dskatter

It feels weird to have an Xbox. I have been Sony since ps2 and never had an one. It feels both like a betrayal and a revelation even though I played Horizon 5 for like 40 min and that’s the extent of my Xbox experience. lol.

Just got my xbox...is this worth playing 4 before it goes or should I just play 5 and leave 4 alone.

I just got my Xbox yesterday. Is it just me or do exact same games just feel different on Xbox compared to PS5
