I’m an Xbox owner since forever. Next generation (and sooner if I can) I’m out, PC and linux will be my new home. Sick of Microsoft and big corporate companies.
You might need something to happen in the PC world for this to happen. Right now you are looking at about 5 to 6x the purchase price for a PC vs a console. Not saying I disagree with the sentiment, I get it. But I’m also sick of Nvidia and AMD who are also pretty gross.
Yeah you are right but I’m not in a hurry, I already have a mini pc for testing, I have good portable pc for gaming (even if I prefer to play on console) that I can start to switch to linux when I will feel comfortable to do so. I’m financially in a good situation, I can save some money for later and keep my Xbox for now (and see what happens with steam machines this year)
It’s long due for people to realize this, the whole, “pay a monthly subscription to play with your friends” shtick was to begin with and still is the biggest scam ever existed, but somehow everyone just endured it.
I mean, when you could convert Xbox Live Gold credits to Gamepass and get it for like $60 a year, it was genuinely a great deal. And that lasted for like 4+ years.
In my opinion it was still wrong, I mean you pay for your internet provider so you can download the games, which you only are able to play offline, but to play them online you add a subscription on top. This does not sound like a good deal to me at all, not for this sole reason at least, playing online or with your friend should have never been pay walled.
The day one games and every month a selection to play games for free is the deal sealer and I am with you, with this on top it was a great deal.

It sounds like a seasons pass for hardware.
