I won’t purchase another system because I don’t want to deal with 1) constant downloads- new games, game updates, system updates, data collection 2) logging in all the time 3) not owning a physical copy of a game.
They complicated the fuck out of doing basic things on their systems and I want no part of it. What have they done to keep the consumer interested in their systems?

I’d rather wait for the ps5 emulator(s)

Microtransactions, ads, no offline modes, you don’t own your own games any more… well they topped all of it with the new console. You buy games that are just empty boxes. Might be a slip of paper in there letting you rent it for $80 flat fee, but they’ll take that game back any time they damn well please.
NOW BEG FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT PEASANT.

I find it weird tho, Xbox literally started ‘cloud’ gaming a few years ago and now there’s games that can’t be played on consoles. You need a subscription to cloud game instead of just using your console to run the game

They’ve never taken a game back. Everyone is causing a fear that doesn’t exist. I only buy digital, never had a problem.

This is either a blatant lie or unfathomable ignorance.
Ubisoft has done just that and so have several others. It the entire reason for the stop killing games movement.

Did we forget Nintendo shut down their entire store just to open a new one?

What’s to stop people from remaking the game and discontinuing support for the original? That happens in Apple’s App Store.

I guess technically it’s movies and TV in this case, not games. But the precedent is there.
