The entire point was gamepass.
The sell was with gamepass all these games are “free” on day one. If they release on other platform, they are full price.
All the other stuff is just temporary drama that would get resolved once the competition dies. The long term plan was for all the Activision Blizzard and Zenimax fans to buy Xboxes and be locked in that ecosystem until the end of time.

Spending 70 billion dollars for gamepass content never seemed like a viable strategy.
There’s also the issue that I don’t think there are enough customers that would trust Microsoft in a pure rental situation.
MS’s other money makers have all turned to complete trash. The only business strategy that MS understands is monopoly.
MTG quit congress so that she has zero ability to do anything about it.
Republicans 100% understand what they’re doing. They lie. That’s their job. The second their job doesn’t depend on keeping an obese pedophile happy they can start expressing themselves more honestly.
Republican - “We want to hunt Democrats!”
Democrat - “WTF?!”
Republican - “Why are Democrats so violent in their rhetoric? This is why bad things happen.”

He got into politics because he saw the balance sheets at the companies he’s running.
His businesses desperately needed government backing and he saw an opportunity to buy himself into the most corrupt administration ever.
Doesn’t the switch have system-level button remapping?

What if he only needs a refrigerator? A person like that has no use for the Switch 2.

Every hobby is a waste of money if you don’t like it.
Have fun doing whatever is fun for you.

It’s going to stay overpriced because retail investors will keep it pumped because they think it will make them millionaires.

I wish there was a service that let all consumers order a physical version of any game with all the latest patches available at the time it was purchased.

I agree. Maybe digital rights over a film or software should allow downloading indefinitely by whichever corporation decides to own the IP.

The corrupt dinosaurs running the government are bought and paid for.
Simple legislation could easily give customers the right to download and keep the movie files purchased.
Digital storefronts should allow downloading full quality files for personal use in a standard non-DRM format.

What is the selling point of a steam machine.
“Do you want to overpay for obsolete hardware that can barely run most modern games? Are you really stupid and cannot use a USB drive to make a very simple software installation that already has tons of step by step instructions freely available online?”
It is his final decision. Not the final decision.
