Surely all they'll do is increase the price of goods and hide the surcharge in there?

Xbox Project Helix may cost $1,200 with massive performance upgrades by mthomson in c/games@lemmy.world

oh so branded PC hardware? forget it. I'll just hang up my gaming. It's not what I want. If I wanted a PC, I'd have a PC. I wanted a console so I could casually jump in and game. I don't want a PC and all the attendant complexity. And I don't like the Playstation, so I'm not going there. I'm just done. Consoles gave people options. This sounds like it's taking away our choice, and I'm sure it'll be a hell of a lot more expensive than $1200 for us.
