I don't really trust it, to be honest. I have had an xbox from the original to the series X. But for the past 5 or 6 years, they have been extremely radio silent on a future for the brand. They focused completely on gamepass and nothing else. They shut down so many studios. It just feels like its a gamble

They have proven over and over that consumer brands aren't anything to them. They constantly chase flashy buzzwords and quarterly earnings over improving and fixing their longstanding issues

Agreed. I forgot to mention too that with windows 11 microslop has been prioritizing imaginary gain rather than genuine human work. The whole company feels like it's a mess, and a drastic shift has occurred. Even compared to a decade ago, it's drastic. 10 years ago, I thought they were iffy on some of their choices, but they seemed to want to fix windows 10 and the Xbox brand. But it's only gotten worse now it seems lol
