Not sure I follow your logic. They’re widening their user base by removing the “console” need. What market have they lost? Hardware sales have been operating at razor thin margins for years. PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo don’t make loads on console sales. They make much money on sales in their marketplaces. Games and subs. Xbox is just ahead of the game by removing the “buy in” cost to their marketplace. Theres a case study for you. Not saying it’s better for the end user. It may be, it may not be. But it’s certainly better for the bottom line.
I mean… That’s part of their intentional pivot right? “Everything’s an Xbox”. They’re after subscriptions to their ecosystem. Play from your tv, tablet, phone, computer with no hassle. Not saying it’s the best or right for everyone, but it’s certinly a calculated business decision rather than a side effect of discontent by users.
Ever see a comic and wonder if you’ve gone insane? Someone please explain this to me before I turn myself back in to the asylum. Freedom was nice while it lasted.
Am I the only one with a phone that doesn’t suggest the next word?! Not sure where it went. iPhone but I have as much of the ai stuff turned off as possible.
This is by design. Those in power have the money, time, and security to actively plan oppression and suppression. Keeping us in a survival state keeps us from advocating change.

Do we have the same parents? #Twinning
I blame my sheltered religious upbringing. Be right back, I have some more rebelling to do.

I know he would never do this… But what’s to prevent him from just… ya know… Lying. Not like he would ever do that, bastion of morality that he is.

I understood a couple of those words. None of the technical ones, but some of them! They were expletives… But I understood them!

My guy bout to start a legal non-profit to pursue and convict honey abusers.
“No honey left behind. Every drop needs a home. We stole it from the bees, but I’ll be damned if I let the flies have it next!”
Not sure I’m down with the spirit behind this joke… Thought I left this kind of humor behind on Reddit. We can do better than this.

For those that don’t know, this is a fun play on the “Serenity Prayer”.
