I don’t think I ever pitched a subscription as being better than ownership, just that your joke is divorced from the reality of the situation and the way Microsoft has operated for over a decade.
How is it divorced? You’re still spending money for the same things over and over again. Your argument is purely semantics" you’re not buying, you’re renting!" Like there is a difference… You are still giving Microsoft money to play old games.
If I changed my original comment to read ‘spending money’ instead of ‘buying’ would that make you feel better? Because this seems to be your only problem with it.
You are missing the distinction by several miles. A short list includes the lack of cert, the availability of competitors on the same platform, and backward compatibility whether they like it or not. If the value proposition is as poor as you expect it to be, then the launch of a portable Xbox will hardly be noticed next to the Steam Deck, but the more likely scenario is that it’s basically a Steam Deck that plays nicer with Game Pass and anti cheat technologies because it’s actually Windows under the hood. You’ve demonstrated a large lack of understanding about what’s changed between 6th gen consoles and today, but the short explanation is that I don’t see a reason to expect Microsoft to charge you for Halo again on this new platform, because it would be marketing suicide among plenty of other reasons.
Originally you brought this up to reinforce the idea that Microsoft consoles are transitioning to a PC with an xbox paint job. Which is what all consoles essentially are, but I got what you were trying to say that it’s a shared environment with a PC, which is somewhat relevant to the conversation… Kinda.
But now you are bringing up certificates, backwards compatibility, steam decks, anti cheat and other generations of consoles.
This entire section of your comment has nothing to do with my joke or the discussion so far, it’s a waste of time and nothing but a diversion. Can you get back to what we are actually talking about? I get it Microsoft rents not sells… You see that I get it right?

Way to ignore my entire comment lol. But thanks for proving my point that you’re a hurt fanboy by downvoting and quickly replying.
They really don’t care about you re-purchasing their old games because they want you to rent a library.
You get that’s worse right? You own nothing and now if you want to replay their old games you have to rent them again and again. It’s just another subscription… Yay Game Pass. Companies don’t decide to make less money just to give their customers more value, they are a business not a charity.
Besides once Microsoft has a stranglehold on the gaming market (If they ever get it) they will use the position of power to make as much money as possible. Like they did with operating systems or office suites (365). They even tried to buy out Nintendo recently, do you think they did that because they don’t want to re-sell their titles again? Why else try and build monopolies?
There seem to be a lot of people here who haven’t gotten the memo that future Xboxes are likely to just be disguised Windows PCs
What do you think consoles are? They are just a pc with proprietary software and hardware. Even a PS2 can run linux.
On an open platform, they couldn’t stop you from continuing to play your old games.
Yeah killing old servers would never force a player to swap to new hardware. Especially not Halo, you know the game that everyone loved to play online.

Just make better jokes next time.
Said the fanboy.
Many of them are redundant because the same license gives access to the game on multiple platforms.
Oh so I have a free copy of Halo 1 or 2 on other platforms because I bought it back on the original Xbox… No, if I want to play it on modern platforms I’ll have to buy it again?
What about Halo 3 on the 360, do I get a free copy of it everywhere else… Again no… Shit.
I’m a Linux fanboy and don’t own a Series X.
Yet you immediately downvote all my comments like that means anything, and get wrapped up defending Microsoft from some random jokes online.
I’m not defending them; your joke didn’t land because you buy the same games over again.
I love the non-conformational language you use here “they don’t typically make you do something”. You cannot even state plainly that they don’t re-sell their shit over and over because even you know it’s not true.
I look forward to your immediate downvote and reply.

Halo has been released on Xbox, Windows, macOS, Xbox 360, Windows Phone, iOS, Xbox One, Arcade, Xbox Series X|S. Then there is the Master Chief Collection which resold the series all over again.
Microsoft will happily sell you the same thing over and over and over. But luckily for them they have fanboys like you ready to defend the multibillion dollar corporation from jokes like mine.
- Comment on Phil Spencer Confirms Xbox is Planning an Xbox Handheld, But It's a Few Years Away 1 week ago:
Every xbox has a version of Halo on it, why do you think this one would be different?
- Comment on Phil Spencer Confirms Xbox is Planning an Xbox Handheld, But It's a Few Years Away 1 week ago:
Games include Halo 1, Halo 2 and Halo 3. Enjoy the thrill of purchasing them all over again!

I never understood why people serve food like this? When ever I get a dish like this, the first thing I do is disassemble it so i can actually fucking eat it.

Sorry for the rant

Square just reported an underwhelming quarter, so I am not gonna be surprised if they announce a remaster/re-release of an old classic to milk their fan base.
Nothing wrong with that of course, but I get the impression it will be a cheap and rushed remaster, with simple upscaling and maybe some built in cheats; $40 please! ($60 with the pre-order bonuses).
That all said, if it does turn into a complete remake I am sure they will turn the story into a convoluted mess with alternate dimensions and time travel.

When our living conditions deteriorate gradually, we adapt to these conditions instead of getting rid of them. But sudden threats get sorted out immediately.
Coal has done far more damage than nuclear energy ever will, but coal has over 2300 stations worldwide and nuclear has 400.
A perfect example of the ‘Boiling Frog Syndrome’.

Yes. But when they stay exclusive it’s the worst.
Still waiting for Bloodborne to be available on PC; most likely will be waiting until I can emulate it.
