Microsoft is a terrible company, but at least they treat their back catalogue with some degree of respect. I just wish Sony cared more.

It’s definitely making their job harder on the face of it, but it also differentiates them from other ad companies, so I guess they’re betting on that being a draw for potential clients.
Advertising isn’t going anywhere, so investing in/supporting ways to more ethically serve ads without harvesting private data seems like a good thing?
Hopefully it’ll be an improvement on Force Commander
Can you imagine if Rembrandt had an executive committee behind him dictating what to paint a picture of
I get what you’re saying, but you realise all the great renaissance painters worked on commission, right? So yes that’s exactly what happened.
Start paying attention to the top new & trending Spotify playlists in genres you’re interested in.
What monopoly? Xbox holds the smallest share of the console market.
I don’t disagree with the sentiment, but I don’t see even a single mention of cloud gaming in the article?
This is about studio closures and a disconnect between MS’s actions and the types of games they say they want.

True, but my point is that having to use third-party tools just to access games you bought without downloading a desktop client isn’t as consumer-friendly as the way GOG offers offline installers directly for every game.
It’s true that most (not all) old games on GOG now are also on Steam, but I do still find the GOG versions are often better configured, sometimes with custom or community patches preinstalled that Steam doesn’t include.

It’s easier to rant about a boogeyman like SBI than to engage with any of the actual issues facing the industry, unfortunately
Each to their own, but I personally can’t imagine having to replace a faulty product 5 times and still wanting to use it
Delisting always sucks, but it looks like they’re at least doing what they’ve done for previous Forza titles: still available to play if you bought it digitally or physically, and if you played on Game Pass but bought DLC they’ll send you a free copy of the base game itself.
