That’s when I stopped. I think the only things I missed were Halo 5 and 6, and I understand I missed very little.
I’m using game pass on PC now, and when they start fucking around with that, I’ll turn them back off.

I abandoned Xbox back when they announced Xbox One and said it required a Kinect and would be always online for DRM purposes. The backlash was severe enough that I remember their stock price taking a hit and that Major Tom dude having to come out and backtrack.
I knew then and there that they’d always try to bring this DRM/hyper controlling nonsense back. Just didn’t think it’d take them so long.

I jumped over to Playstation and I can’t say I’m having a bad time. Some great exclusives have come out. Horizon Zero Dawn, Spider-Man 1 (I’m too poor for Spider-Man 2 so have no opinions), Bloodborne, God of War… Been a nice time and same here on Halo being the only thing I missed.
Well that and the controller.

I was going to get Xbox (whatever the random name for this next gen is) for Christmas and have been with Microsoft since the 360, but now I’m moving back to PlayStation. Granted, I’m barely a gamer and use it more as a media center than a game console, but even I’m getting tired of Microsoft.

I’ve never owned any Xbox because even Windows is too hyper-controlling for me.

Arch is for newbies, real Linuxers use Gentoo (it’s very comfy and let’s me use anything and everything)
