[ActMan] The Inevitable End of Xbox

I dont know how you go from pioneering needing to pay for a subscription to play online to where Xbox is now. Xbox should be in a lot better place than it is.

I have no idea why he felt the need to suck off GabeN in the middle of the video. He praises to high heavens the act of Steam reverting a pricing error. Every store front is obliged to do this and even gasp! evil MS would have done the same. The same with the thread where MS made it clearer that a digital purchase is a license to play content and some dude was complaining as though that is not the same everywhere. I am not an MS fan, but this is what everyone does, and I do not know why MS is catching extra flack for this.
 
This editing style is the definition of brain rot cancer. Shitting on Xbox is fun but I guess this is what happens when your target audience is ADHD zoomers on adderall. Unwatchable garbage.

Because it's Microsoft. Microsoft is and always has been a shitty company.

Xbox was created partially because they didn't want Sony "encroaching on their territory". Xbox was only given such a long lease because they were new and wanting their foot in the door. Microsoft was always going to ruin it once they made their way into everybody's living rooms IMO.


Everybody should watch the original video versus watching him react to it. It's a great video and that guy deserves views IMO (at least that video, IDK if I've watched anything else of his).

Unfortunately Act Man has started going this route as he's gotten bigger. His old videos are much better but his audience was much smaller and I would assume skewed older.
 
I watched the whole video.

What's wrong with these Xbox fans?
This idiot buys every game he plays and still subscribed to Game Pass when it was cheap?
This idiot is now outraged by the Game Pass increase when he always bought the games?
Why did this idiot subscribe to GP, to "give money to Daddy Phil Spencer"?

What an idiot!

It seemed to me like this idiot was just a retarded Xbox fanboy who used the low Game Pass price to "claim victory" over the PlayStation, even though he bought every game he played. Is that right?
This disconnect from reality is what destroyed the Xbox.
Xbox fans, like Phil Spencer, care more about "winning in the media" than actually winning in the real world.

What Microsoft has largely done for 16 years has been purely focused on winning press conferences. They green light things, announce things, and focus on making fantastic presentations. The details on these things are secondary (and even tertiary) compared to just creating an amazing press conference to give the impression that they are 'winning'.


Xbox fanboys are Xbox fanboys because they identify with the brand. Phil Spencer is very similar to Xbox fanboys and vice versa.
