Press a massive X to doubt on reduction of micro transactions. See halo infinite on that front.

The reason I personally don’t want this as someone who does not own a PlayStation or a Nintendo console and likely never will is this leads to a future where Microsoft builds up enough IP where suddenly everything is locked into Microsoft game pass and their own store and windows that anyone wanting to use a different platform may as well just fuck off.

It’s the first step on the road to anti consumer practices that Microsoft has historically always done.
