    Yet they want all of it to go to cloud gaming, 15 hours is nothing.

        Ideas? Trust me, they’re already thinking of it. Sharma has been talking about how gaming is becoming too expensive for consumers and that’s code for “get ready for ads and financing” as far as I’m concerned

    “Because of the growing cost as more people use it for longer”

    What’s the over/under that the real reason is they’re scavenging some of the servers for Copilot?

      I can answer factually. It’s parts scarcity. They can’t repair them. In fact, nothing is getting repaired right now. Just harvested from prod to go back into prod in another cluster. Source? I’d violate NDA.

        “Back in my day we had better tech for less.”

        “Whooooah! Tell us more about past times, grand papa! What was a terabyte like? Did you have your own console too?”

        “Why, yes. In our living rooms. I actually had two, but many people had more.”

        Yeah, I’m not really sure. I set up text replacement to do that on my phone a long time ago and I’ve never changed it. Can’t remember why I did it in the first place. It’s the same for bxtch, sxxt, a$$, and dxxn.

    This is a feature I never used on Gamepass. I’ll continue to intermittently subscribe to play the big titles for a significant discount. If you don’t need to own absolutely everything that you play, the service still makes sense.

    Certainly glad I only played Halo Campaign Evolved on GP because that game was not worth $50.

    Hoping Gears of War is better but I’ll still only play it on GP.

      My significant discount is to wait a couple years for a 70% off sale on steam and be able to play it years later when i want XD

        I doubt it will be worth it. I honestly thought it was a pretty awful experience performance wise. MCC is far and away the better way to play Halo.
