What are your thoughts on this? Are you happy? Sad?

I’m extremely curious. If you asked me this as a kid, I would have been celebrating. I always thought games should be accessible to everyone. But now I’m questioning if Microsoft plans to keep the Xbox ecosystem alive.

Exclusive titles are/were the incentive to keep people on certain consoles. Currently, I think only gamepass and digital libraries would be the only reason to stay with Microsoft if they continue to make systems in the future.

Additionally, I’m curious as to how this could destabilize the market. With no direct competition for high end hardware (other than pc/the steam deck), Sony can kinda do whatever they please.

    I always thought games should be accessible to everyone.

    In a ideal world absolutely, but there’s literally zero chance of Sony reciprocating, as shown by their behaviour during the Bethesda case. Exclusives for me, not for thee.

    I’m happy for PlayStation owners but, as someone heavily invested in the Xbox ecosystem since the OG, it feels like a kick in the teeth.
