Xbox's loathed "Project Latitude" strategy which saw Microsoft support its biggest rival with content is ending, with CEO Asha Sharma doubling down on exclusives.

      Xbox games on Windows, and most if not all Microsoft Store apps, have some abstraction layer -I’m not certain of the technical details and actual implementation- that make them virtually unrunnable using Wine.

      Note: My experience may be outdated and not reflective of the current state of Wine.

    I wanted to play clockwork revolution, but not even remotely enough to buy a $1k+ Xbox. And I’m fairly certain that sharma will be gone before ES6 or Fallout 5 appear on the market.

        Well that’s good but I doubt my computer will handle that unfortunately. And I’m not in the market for a new one at the moment, I’m sure you can understand why lol.

    I have yet to be introduced to a game so good that I can’t just play something else (or hell, read a book or something more fulfilling)

      I can’t even think of the last AAA game that I played through. Maybe Ghost of Yotei, which was fine but nothing to sing praises over (though the cast was fantastic, I’ll give it that).

      Indie and AA games have been far more interesting than any AAA slop for years now, especially console exclusive slop. PoE2 and Warframe are dominating the AA live service market, Deltarune’s back in conversations with the new chapter release, so many weird little obscure titles that are just far more interesting than whatever Sony and MS are pumping out. Hell, over the past year some of my favorite single player games have been super oddballs like Cruelty Squad, Funi Raccoon Game, and Fuck’s Quest II

      Rambling aside, I don’t see myself ever caring about a game enough to buy a new console for it at this point. Even Nintendo’s lost my interest ages ago and I grew up obsessed with their games.

      I haven’t had an Xbox since the 360, and never will again. Fuck that company in the ass with a morning star.
