Costco will now only sell Playstation and Switch, Xbox is gone. Bad sign for their popularity.

It's definitely a win for those campaigners/unions/worker groups, and a blow to Israel, but it's also worth mentioning that it's a bit of a fudge from Microsoft so let's not give them too much credit.

They're pulling data hosting from Unit8200, which is the secretive military data unit that was storing and surveilling every phone call in Gaza. But it's also a massive tech incubator so a lot of Israeli spy/digital genocide tech is privatised through Unit8200 linked companies, which Microsoft will undoubtedly still support.
