New Xbox & AI CEO announced via Twitter ( not calling it x) the new “hybrid” console that will play Xbox and PC games.
In other words you know just a PC. Thus far it seems the system will use the exact same Xbox desktop experience as the “rog ally”.
While we all saw it coming and there isn’t much surprise. This to me says Xbox is dead as a platform.
It’s going to be expensive, it’s going to have Windows. It’s going to have co-pilot it’s going to have the same pop ups.
At least we get an Ally ROG desktop at most a Surface Gaming Desktop. Either honestly is a terrible idea. There will be most affordable options not tied to windows there will be mode powerful options at the same price. Even if you like the idea of going all in PC gaming this won’t be your best option.
If you want to stay a console gamer you’re going to have to switch teams …
RIP Xbox.
This is just the needle pushing more towards subscription models for all the things.
In a few years you won’t own games or game systems, you will have a controller to the side of your monitor and all your PC functions will be outsourced to a microsoft server and your games will be streamed to you according to whatever subscription tier you’re on.
If you all want to stop this, STOP BUYING NEW GAMES. Just put the stupid fucking companies out of business, we can “acquire” plenty of PC games for our PC’s and there are vast numbers of used games out there, alongside whatever is kicking around in our steam libraries that we didn’t have the attention span to even try. Let’s go on a spending diet and enjoy the lives we have for a little while until the oligarchs all starve.
Bold of you to assume the oligarchs will starve when they can always print money out of thin air while the rest of us pay for it in inflation.
Well, to be more correct, if they see a venture or tactic of theirs isn’t paying off as their delusional AI’s told them it would, we can at least get them to scrap that direction and try something else. We’ll never actually “stop” them, but we can use the thing we have, that they want, to at least direct them away from the places that they are causing harm to things we want to preserve.
I am under no expectation of this happening at all, we have hundreds of millions of families who will throw whatever new, shiny, mainstream tech-toys and “blockbuster” releases at their kids as a babysitter, those are the breadbasket of the tech and entertainment companies.
