Funny because Microsoft also recently dropped support for Firefox for Xbox GamePass Cloud Gaming on Android. I say "dropped support" but really they stopped letting you use the purpose built app and are now forcing you to use browser but the only "supported" browsers are Chrome and Edge. Firefox works, but they forcefully disconnected me after 5 minutes so it's not a matter of compatibility. They just want that traffic going through Edge ideally but they do still support Chrome, for now.

I believe the section of concern was

At this point, it's sounding more and more like a social experiment.

No. The game is paid. It should come with all available settings. This is just one step away from studios hiding HD textures behind paywalls.

And this line of thinking is what let's them get away with it.

That's how I was originally introduced to him, and then again later on Critical Role.

Just curious, how do you host it? Do you have it containerized or no?

I experienced the same with Cox Internet.

That's what I thought. I don't care how much it looks like Diablo, if it's not even in the same genre, then there's no comparison.

I'm actually interested to see how this does so I've been following it.

As someone who enjoyed the brief comet that was Vine but despises TikTok, this feels like a throw back to that.

Of course, I'd be delusional if I said that wasn't hopeful thinking.

Half the time, streaming is virtually no different.
