After laying off almost 2,000 people, Xbox finds itself in a position at odds with the community-first image it has cultivated for itself.

No console is your friend. Only PC can be friend.
Moral of the story: build your friends.
*own them
Replace their parts… Like uh, like friends do.
I mean a good friend helps you when you need new eyes…
What if I’m renting them?
Renting means playing on the timeline of capitalism. You should buy it as cheap as possible so you can enjoy it when you want, not when they want you to.
I mean, I’d be buying new laptop pretty often anyway, because I’m using it for work, so in this specific case it’s actually cheaper to rent. Though it remains to be seen whether they’ll lend me a new one once I return this one because they’ll be the ones losing money here.
I’m confused, what are you renting, for how long, and for how much? And what do you need it to do? I’m wondering because renting is almost always a worse deal.
Bad. You either own something or you are a looser.
linux is my only friend
Exactly.
Yup, don’t tell my wife.
Yeah! With my Micorsoft Wintendo
Not if it’s running Windows.
Btw, they’re using “Xbox” synonymous with the Microsoft video games division because that’s how Microsoft is using the term as well. If you think using the same term for two completely different things is dumb, please remember that’s the same company that thought that naming the third Xbox console generation “Xbox One” is an amazing idea and then releasing “Xbox Series S” and “Xbox Series X” after “Xbox One S” and “Xbox One X” were already around.
Windows isn’t a operating system, its a virus that wants to make you believe its a OS.
Meh, I saved literally thousands of dollars a year playing the shit that doesn’t need eye candy on Xbox/PS5. The OS is far less of a pain to maintain as well.
Fuck valve and them destroying discs.
Thats some serious BS right here.
I’ve rented 40 or so games last year retailing well over $2000. Sorry!
Sounds like a you problem.
No. It sounds like you are having a hard time coping, upon learning how I save thousands of dollars a year playing low eye candy games on consoles.
Oh it’s this fucking clown car again! Hey clown, hows the circus?
I know, math is hard. Still following me around I see 🤷♂️.
No, I hate clowns. Math is definitely hard when you have 4 fingers and need them all to count.
On the flipside, I’ve saved even more on PC. I regularly buy games for <$5, and those typically go for $20+ on any console. I also get a bunch of free, high-quality games from EGS, GOG, and some other stores. The games I want to play all work well, are incredibly cheap (especially w/ bundles on Fanatical or Humble Bundle), and still work when I upgrade my hardware. I regularly play games from the 90s, try that on your console.
The main downside is no physical media, but I’m way too lazy to actually sell my old games, and for the cost I pay, I’m really not worried about it. My OS is incredibly easy to maintain, I literally run updates and that’s it. Oh, and I use Linux, so I don’t even need to pay for the OS either.
Consoles absolutely have their place (I have a Switch as well), but for budget gaming, you really can’t beat PC.
