Looks like top management has completely given up on gaming following the disastrous acquisitions of Activision and Zenimax.

They've killed their first party studios, their hardware and now their last remaining thing which was the game pass.

Always remember, Fitgirl is free.

Good god Xbox dropped the damn ball. I remember the launch presentation for the Xbox One. It was coming in with HEAT. Coming off the xbox 360 (which had some issues, but was up against the ps3 so it did well), everyone was excited for the next Microsoft machine. But then, that E3 presentation would be a sign of were Xbox would be going for the next decade. They were going for a home multimedia system, but they focused far too much on TV and streaming. OOO hdmi passthrough, OOO kinect, but where are the games? Well, they are region locked, have always on DRM, and are being locked from resale. And of course, Xbox live now comes with games, moving to a subscription model entirely. Since then, the Xbox series X and S have less features, less games, and less love from fans.
