For 100 games, that's shockingly devoid of any major titles. Why praise this?

Those scores are hard to take seriously. Like ... A 9.5/10? How much does a company charge for that??

So 97% of the employees will be asked to work 3% harder, or automation has made things 3% more efficienct and increased productivity by 3%.

Ultimately we're talking about some percentage of 6000 people having anything to do with Xbox. So... 60 people? Maybe 300? Stop the presses. 🙄

@themightyant What features are you referring to? The sub offers a pretty decent game library and an extended warranty but I was able to do literally everything with my Backbone without subscribing.

I love my Crossbone controller! I've spent a lot of time at the doctor this year and having a boatload of emulators, Xbox streaming and the optional subscription to the Backbone library, I've always got a ton of choices.

Travels GREAT too!

Sadly the AI and general NPC design is a massive distraction in Atomfall.

Oddly I've noticed zero audio issues despite 90% of the one star reviews centering on that.

Backwards compatibility with my OG, 360 and XBone games was the only reason I purchased a Series X. If everything that plays on the X doesn't play on their next console, that's gonna be a hard pass for me.

Sitting on a $5k+ catalogue Microsoft, don't hose me!

Darn... All this did was kinda solidify the fact I already own all the BC games I'm interested in. Shame they stopped supporting bringing over older titles.

I've been avoiding every Activision sale the past six months. Hopefully some of the older WW2 COD titles and some Crash/Spyro... Honestly I'd be thrilled with Blizzard Arcade Classics.

Was not at all interested until I saw him give an order to his troops. If it works like that... yeah, count me in. Looks absurd.

@Shinaxis That's more or less my point - nobody wants to start dumping games from studios they own onto other consoles.

Nintendo and Sony crying foul is ridiculous and they know it. It has nothing to do with them caring about competition for the sake of the consumer. All 3 of them are there to make money; gamers are their path to doing that. They might seem like they care but, honestly, they just want your money.

@Shinaxis Fair enough but Nintendo was way worse than any gaming company in terms of anti-competitive behavior. Sony bought up exclusives like crazy when they needed them. Honestly I think this is just Sony and Nintendo trying to cram a log in M$'s machine due to how much they hate what Game Pass is doing to their business model.

I'm not a fan of either company because they're all greedy af. I'll play on their consoles but I'm not gonna act like they see me as anything other than a wallet.

"[thus] withholding content from competitors entirely, resulting in harm to consumers."

God of War. Demon's Souls. Bloodborne. Uncharted. The Last of Us. Mario. Mario Kart. Mario Party. Zelda. Smash Bros. Donkey Kong Country...

This is going to be a very quick open and shut case. Either those games all come to Xbox or there's no real legs to their entire case.
