Now that I think of it, maybe it would be best for the Activision Blizzard deal to not go through. Give it to someone else so we can have choices outside of Sony Nintendo and Microsoft who are all failing at the moment.
Two companies I used to respect and now will not contribute anymore. Good luck. Won't be missing you. I haven't been for years. No plan to ever give either of them my money.
@Stocksy It's not about how angry people get. It's why companies do things that make people angry an still support them. I have no sympathy for anyone involved. MS and Sony don't have gamers at interest, it's all about money.
Not that I care about COD but when these exclusives run out I would cut them off entirely. But Microsoft sucks so bad they would probably renew them...
I prepaid until 2024. The problem is I rarely play any Game Pass games I didn't already pay full price for. I'll be letting it lapse mainly due to the fact that I don't use the service. If they are increasing the prices, I want to see better content worth downloading.
I'm pretty sure they just cannot. Sony will just continue to throw money away to disrupt Xbox's growth. Microsoft is becoming a crapshow but Sony's practices are just straight up evil.
Actually lets just stop with the remakes already... I'd rather something new to play than to pay $70 to replay game I've already played many years ago. Nostalgia is being kicked like a dead horse.
The lack of features of what I like most is not present. Mostly the textured triggers at this point. How is that not an option? For this reason it just isn't worth the cost, you can just buy a Series X|S controller with better features, for less.
I'm not sure how well it would do if they are looking for nostalgia, the games were fun. I just don't know if it is enough. We need some new games. I'm pretty set with rehashes personally.
@Dezzy70 These people usually aren't hackers. Most of them run scripts someone else made that they find on the web. We used to call these people script kiddies. The person doesn't have to be smart, I'm not saying the person isn't smart. I just highly doubt the person did it by themselves, in such case they would have known how to cover their tracks better.
@senote EA does not created quality games, they just make lottery mechanic loot based games. Hopefully at least a gem will come out every couple years now after dodging a some duds. The one gem would be worth it.
Microsoft is trolling their consumer base. This isn't going to end well. I'll happily be letting my Game Pass lapse and moving elsewhere. Between this Windows 11 and screwing up the XBOX UI, I don't know who they are catering to anymore , but it clearly wasn't me.
Breaking things like they did with Windows 11 seems to be their new marketing slogan. This is the reason why we can't have nice things. They just take them away, just because.
Are we ever going to be able to buy games through the app? We can search for and download them even if we don't own them. Then have to launch the game for the console to tell you that you don't own the game and proceeds to take you to the store. In this process you may have determined you don't want the game if you have to pay for it because it wasn't on Game Pass. Then have to delete the game to make space on your drive that never needed those file to begin with. This is the single biggest issue I have with the Xbox app. It used to work really well. I don't know what the heck Microsoft has been doing lately. Even Windows 11 is a complete disaster.
@abe_hikura The opening for the intake is likely above the disc drive drawing air from the back of the unit which would help keep dust from getting in the system as well. This would also keep dust from getting in the disc area.
As much as I have been excited for this. Why do we have to regurgitate this idea once a month, just to not have it happen? Just let it go and be happy when it releases.
@Dezzy70 I have to disagree for one basic somewhat unknown reason. You can easily buy 3 years of Live Gold cheaper than Game Pass and you can convert it all to Game Pass. Just let your current subscription lapse.
Fixing what isn't broken will just break it. There's nothing wrong with it. Just play games, if you are spending this much time in the dashboard you are doing it wrong.
@Fishticon They may be a bit overpriced, they are still great controllers. I have two Elite controllers and I'm very happy with them. You can remap the buttons, there are short triggers and rear paddles as well if you want. The quality of it is very solid. People buying them aren't getting ripped off, saying someone is gullible for buying one is a stretch.

Thanks in advance.
Re: Gotham Knights Divides Critics, Lots Of Different Review Scores
Even the reviews that give it higher scores lament on the game in some way. Not a good sign.
Re: Silent Hill 2 Remake Confirmed, But It's A Timed PlayStation Exclusive
Silent Hill 1 was my favorite. I'm more upset they skipped that one and started with SH2.
Re: Call Of Duty Will Be 'Restricted' On Xbox Game Pass, Confirms Microsoft
I don't know who is more evil Sony or Microsoft. This is just crap show from both sides. Gamers are about to just quit on both of them.
Re: Xbox Game Pass Is Making Billions In Revenue Each Year, Suggests Report
@Notoriousmakavel It's a matter of Microsoft being willing to take all and any money they can. Regardless of optics.

Re: Xbox's Latest Insider Update Adds Ability To Mute Console Startup Sounds
I guess they do listen to feedback once and again. Nothing like my house shaking when the volume is up when I turn on the console.
Re: Digital Foundry Says Halo Infinite Split-Screen Is 'Excellent', 343 Declines To Comment

Re: Xbox's New Dashboard Is Getting Mixed Feedback, So Fans Are Creating Their Own
$500 for an ad machine. Anyone want my Series X?
Re: Here's Your First Look At Xbox's New Home UI In Motion
This is just as bad as their Windows 11 idea that just sucks.
Re: Here's Your First Look At Xbox's New Home UI In Motion
It's soo bad I'm not even using my Xbox anymore. Perhaps this is how I give up gaming.

@CaptainCluck It will make Microsoft more money. It will be recouped with more subscribers.
Re: 'Xbox Series C' Has Been Trending Thanks To This New Concept Trailer
@abe_hikura The opening for the intake is likely above the disc drive drawing air from the back of the unit which would help keep dust from getting in the system as well. This would also keep dust from getting in the disc area.
My guess anyways.
Re: Xbox Is Revamping The 'My Games & Apps' Screen On Your Console
I spend about 10 seconds in the dashboard. I'm sure there are other things they could be focused on.
Re: Xbox Boss: We'll See Less Platform Exclusive Games In The Future
I've always never understood the exclusivity argument when inclusivity benefits everyone. We also need more Co-Op and multiplayer PVE games.
Re: Rockstar Will Reportedly Make Proper Single-Player DLC For GTA 6
