    Personally, I’d like to thank Microsoft. They’ve been making it easy to not regret getting a PS5 and not really even considering the xbox option that strongly. Between the series S needing to handle it for it to be allowed on the series X and now full screen ads, it’s like Sony is the only one that realizes there’s still competition going on.

    I’d also like to thank people who still buy Xboxes anyways for giving Sony a reason to not turn the enshitification up to an 11 because it’s probably more of a difference in confidence than principles.

      They also recently announced that all unlicesenced third party accessories will cease to work with the Xbox as of a couple days ago.

        Yeah, plenty of things that have made me glad to not have one. Has there been anything positive about Xbox in the news lately? That isn’t kinda a backhand compliment, like BG3 being available on it soon while it launched everywhere else a while ago now?
