Xbox has been my primary platform for most of my life. Parents didn't like video games so I didn't play much until I was an adult and secondhand stuff was really cheap and accessible.
After switching to Stadia, which was phenomenal for a casual-new-dad gamer and I loved it, before it was unsurprisingly killed, coming back was entirely different. Everything was digital, there is no secondhand market for games, and consoles are increasingly expensive.
Making Xbox less accessible and more restrictive may have pushed me to a windows PC a few years ago... But making Windows 11 such a shit show made me switch everything to Linux.
I'd love to stay but they seem determined to suck everything that was great out of it.
At this point, this is just the MS gaming pipeline.
Hilarious to hear Nadella whine about Xbox performance when he is directly responsible for it going to shit. 30% mandatory profit margins was a death sentence
Windows PC Master Race.
Until linux eclipses it, which its not far from doing. My gaming rig is the only windows device purely because of compatibility, but I'll be moving platforms the moment linux gets like 95% compatibility
