What, Exactly, Is Xbox Thinking? - Lemmy.World

Article by Patrick Klepek & Rob Zacny.

This whole thing is so bizarre to me. People have complained endlessly over the years about game console exclusivity. I personally think it’s bad for the consumer.

And now that MS is talking about putting their experiences on other platforms, people are upset with them? That they’ve somehow lost their way, that the brand is dying?

Seriously, have I lost my mind? What’s going on?

I’m only nervous that Microsoft will stop developing Xbox’s. If we’re eventually forced to move to a digital only system, I want some kind of guarantee that customers can always access the games they paid for. Otherwise I think sharing games with other consoles is a great idea
This one is simple! You see, they stop selling games to their customers. Instead, you can get monthly access to their catalogue of games. Then you don’t have to worry about owning them. Sometimes less (for you) is more (for them).
