I started dropping off after every time I started to boot my Xbox it just was just ads upon ads trying to sell me stuff and not gettin me into the games faster.

Oh crap. That just PlayStation's going to do it too. Right now I get ads at the bottom and games at the top so I can at least jump straight into a game. Assuming I don't boot straight into one because I went to rest mode in it.

But the second MS proves this, Sony will follow.

I use mine primarily for media and occasionally play online with friends. They killed gold, and reverted to game pass core, so now I have to pay $10/month to play games I own. They are deleting my purchased games, ea archived an active account for inactivity when I had playtime in the calendar year. There is no new IP, they shut down studios, and raised prices, locked us into a shitty platform and started monitoring and monetizing their paid users.

They deserve this
