What Microsoft has been saying about Xbox lately strongly implies that this is a Windows handheld designed to solve software and user experience problems with using current Windows handhelds. And signs are pointing toward the next Xbox console coming sooner than the next PlayStation and essentially being a PC running a console version of Windows. Some speculation on my part, but I’m not the only one coming to those conclusions.
Said the fanboy.
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.
Yet you immediately downvote all my comments like that means anything, and get wrapped up defending Microsoft from some random jokes online.
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.
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, because they’re mostly interested in Game Pass and know they can’t compete otherwise. On an open platform, they couldn’t stop you from continuing to play your old games. They really don’t care about you re-purchasing their old games because they want you to rent a library. That’s why your joke was bad.
Way to ignore my entire comment lol. But thanks for proving my point that you’re a hurt fanboy by downvoting and quickly replying.
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?
What do you think consoles are? They are just a pc with proprietary software and hardware. Even a PS2 can run linux.
Yeah killing old servers would never happen.
