    Yet they want all of it to go to cloud gaming, 15 hours is nothing.

    Great example of why cloud gaming should never be a thing.

      “Why would anyone play video games for more than 30 minutes a day?”

    “Because of the growing cost as more people use it for longer”

    What’s the over/under that the real reason is they’re scavenging some of the servers for Copilot?

        “Back in my day we had better tech for less.”

        “Whooooah! Tell us more about past times, grand papa! What was a terabyte like? Did you have your own console too?”

        “Why, yes. In our living rooms. I actually had two, but many people had more.”

        “Whoooooah!”

      The ads will probably count towards your streaming time.

        Ideas? Trust me, they’re already thinking of it. Sharma has been talking about how gaming is becoming too expensive for consumers and that’s code for “get ready for ads and financing” as far as I’m concerned

    That should be more than enough screen time for any gamer living a healthy balanced lifestyle. /s

    This is a feature I never used on Gamepass. I’ll continue to intermittently subscribe to play the big titles for a significant discount. If you don’t need to own absolutely everything that you play, the service still makes sense.

    Certainly glad I only played Halo Campaign Evolved on GP because that game was not worth $50.

    Hoping Gears of War is better but I’ll still only play it on GP.

      My significant discount is to wait a couple years for a 70% off sale on steam and be able to play it years later when i want XD

        I doubt it will be worth it. I honestly thought it was a pretty awful experience performance wise. MCC is far and away the better way to play Halo.
