vexikronThe Xbox 12 will run on Windows 12 and is basically a locked down PC that runs another Xbox DRM layer on top of Windows 12 that makes it so you cant actually use it as a PC.
PloppOoh how about this, you can subscribe to Windows as a service on your Xbox for only $9.99 /month? Also, if you want access to the games store you need the full Windows experience on your Xbox.
See, yes, exactly.
I guarantee you their upper and middle management would convince themselves this makes sense.
I used to work for them. The management is basically all fucking delusional, out of touch psychopaths.
That’s exactly what microsoft would do
It’s kinda what they already did
But now Xbox games just need to target windows and that minimum hardware of the “console” that Microsoft sells. Then if a game is released on Xbox it’s already on PC.
Of course, it’ll be in the Microsoft Store and not on Steam. M$ coming for Valve’s lunch; thinking they can push them off Windows and onto Linux, which will then not be supported because every AAA game will have a Windows-kernel anticheat and not run on Proton/SteamDeck.
They’re coming for the gold, boys.
And also the games are running via wine cuz Steam is doing what Microsoft couldn’t for decades.
