Nice try, if I'm using PC I'm just going to use Steam.

Same, they don't try to nickel and dime me on services at least. Only reason I would use the Xbox app is to download games I got on it. Steam and GOG are basically all I use on PC.

Right? Steam.exe has so many great features that the XB app is lacking.
The store is completely customizable. Little things like setting controller preferences in game launch settings, setting resolution (by monitor!) in game launch settings, the steam community workshop where you can add mods in the game file automatically, easy as pie return policy, better prices, etc. Albeit, XB prices have come down a lot to compete with Steam, it's still not as smooth as Steam. Plus, Steam doesn't have any weird formatting issues needed for your SSD. On my Lenovo Legion Go, I can only save XB games to the main SSD and not an external micro sd, even after properly formatting.

If you actually have an Xbox, the MS Store version of PC games beats Steam easily for any game that supports Play Anywhere.
Only exception is very specific cases like Bethesda shit that's unplayable without mods that require a script extender.

I have an XSX and a hand full of "play anywhere" games, but I don't use that feature, tbh. If I have a game that plays on XB, I don't play it on my LeGo, for example.

It's what happens when you put a woke DEI hire in charge of an entire division.

grummz is a total grifter but no lies really detected
the only good first party game out of microsoft in the past few years is Forza Horizon 5 (like... 7 years old lol) and Indiana Jones, both of which feel more like flukes than intentional. Everything else from them directly (Expedition 33, etc is third party) is gay up the ass

Scapegoat for DEI infested garbage. I can absolutely guarantee you one person in India has more talent in their pinky than probably all of the pink haired cucks laid off at XBox this round put together, including anyone still left standing at Obsidian. Cheaper Wages plus better talent equals fuck off Woketard developers destroying games in the west. Can cry about H1B all they want when now MS won't worry about pathetic unions for game developers so they can sit on their ass and cry about not having milking stations for trannies for 10 hours a day doing jack shit thinking they are protected by a union.
Even more funny at this point is these fucks did it to themselves, will take no responsibility, and cry foul every step of the way while they are shown the door. Gee, you have to give gaming customers what they want? No way. Shocking.

So far the layoffs have impacted CoD teams, Half the Forza Team, Blizzard and WoW (Knew that was coming - fucking cucks, and their union protected QA department - easy pickens for who to lay off and get rid of - QA with a fucking union is laughable). Looks like MS sees the writing on the wall and is cleaning house of these rejects. Hopefully Obsidan gets nailed.
MS needs game developers not political con arists forcing shit narratives.
Now, time to fire Sarah Bond.

What’s bonkers is COD was getting a true return to great campaigns.
peak code is COD modern warfare trilogy, black ops 1 and 2, and world at war.
then ghosts - BO4 were pretty terrible.
but WW2, Modern Warfare 2019, and Modern Warfare 2 2022 were genuinely fun campaigns. Cold War was decent, too. Vanguard was a shit campaign but graphics were amazing in it.
then Xbox took over, and MWF3-2023 had awful campaign. Probably the worst so far. Which is impressive. It felt like objective based multiplayer maps with bots. And BO6 interjected even worse graphics, girl bosses galore, and I just couldn’t. I tried so a few times but i just hated playing it. Decided to reinstall modern warfare 1 instead.

If the studio doesn’t fire that developer, they stand behind him and his message.
ashley Cooper was a racist asshat who was lead writer for Space Marine 2. She said some anti white racist stuff on Twitter, the company fired her, and then released a great game.

That shit was everywhere within the culture of that studio. If launched it would have been worse than Saints Row 2022. MS sees the writing on the wall.
