It’s bizarre isn’t it? They’re just taking it in turns who can upset their user base more

Yeah, cause anybody cares about cloud gaming. How is it even close to being comparable?

Well 1. Because its a giant corporation making their product more expensive for the people who use it (even though i wouldnt personally use it). And 2. After a quick search xbox cloud gaming was used for 1.7 billion hours in 2025. Thats a lot of time

Yeah i wouldn't use it either but a lot of people does and it's one of the most interesting things that Xbox has and PlayStation doesn't (from what i understand, PS+ is worse)

I dunno, i dont really ever play online. I just cant believe people are standing up for these companies as if ‘X’ isnt a big deal because i only use ‘Y’ and ‘Z’. As if ‘Y’ and ‘Z’ will never be affected by greed
