I don't have a Windows PC though?

Then they still get your money and it's at the higher cut.

I am thoroughly confused by both your replies now. I haven't got a platform they sell games for, AFAIK, but I had one. This generation they've failed to provide enough to get me to buy anything from them.

I thought they still made games for the non series X/S/One but apparently they stopped in 2023.

Well either way I felt the same way about the original one. I got mine in 2018 and I’ve played less than 100 hours of games on it, and never actually bought any games for it (I got it second hand with about 6 games).

In general I think AAA games just aren’t worthwhile, let alone AAA exclusives. There’s a lot of great indie games, but that requires going through the sludge of indie games.
