    Doing the right thing for the wring reason if you ask me. I don’t think it was ever a good idea to sell incest games in the first place, but banning them because they make payment processors uncomfortable ? Fuck that.

    I don’t want payment processors to be the arbiters of what we are allowed to play !

    Game Pass is the same scam as Netflix was back then, and I’m not falling for it twice.

    Netflix used to be too good to be true as well. 10€ a month for literally everything ! Now they don’t even make blu-rays anymore and you spend more time looking up which service has the thing you want to watch than watching it, so people are pirating again.

    I’ll stick to physical games and GOG as much as possible.






  • While this is bad for the market, it’s also entirely expected.

    Xbox have been producing sub-par hardware with names no one can remember and barely any exclusives, it was only a matter of time.

    To other Europeans : do you know anyone who owns an Xbox ? I’ve only ever had one single friend in middle school who had a 360. I’ve never seen any other model outside of an electronics store.

    Their current gen is hamstrung by the existence of the Series S, and the utter lack of features in their controllers (no gyroscope or any motion sensors ? No advanced rumble ? No touchpad ?). No one who is serious about controller gaming buys an Xbox controller, especially because of the lack of gyro.

    Their dedication to digital-only and pushing the games pass also alienates anyone who wishes to play physical games and/or offline.
