Someone can answer that? Can't look video currently.

My favourite thing to do is to get Xbox hardware for cheap, then use them in ways which daddy MS doesn’t want.

Like the Xbone, plays all the AC games (that matter) is really cheap. Just keep it offline and boom the system is usable. It’s not like it’s getting any new games.

People still bought Xbox?

This won't reach the people that buy Xbox products but it'll reach those who already "boycott" Xbox because those people know that Xbox doesn't provide anything special.

It stopped me from buying any Xbox games in the Steam Winter Sale, so there's that.

What about XBox360?

Only if it's chipped

Just boycott the whole of Microsoft. For a million reasons.

[-] KiwiTB@lemmy.world 48 points 19 hours ago

Microsoft is boycotting Xbox at this point

[-] Peffse@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

No joke! I see nothing on shelves to resist purchasing.

I always boycotted Xbox. I never could understand why anyone would a tually want more Microsoft in their lives.

Microsoft didn't used to be complete shit.

[-] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 6 points 12 hours ago

I used to be really into their hardware and peripherals. They used to make awesome input devices.

I remember discovering that XP had a secret hidden file that kept all your email/browser History. That was like 2002, I haven't trusted MS since then.

When? From at least XP on they were completely shit. Certainly anti consumer.

But I would easily entertain the idea that they were always crap.

Edit: bill gates pulled code out of the trash to learn from it. Then went on to try and stop others from learning code.

I could go on.

How anyone is defending microsoft is beyond me.
