Microsoft can’t just go back to selling games like they did and cancel Game Pass lol. That would literally kill off the Xbox division as we know it. First, it would shatter any confidence people had in Microsoft and second it would destroy any relationship you had with the Xbox fans who have “bought in” to the Game Pass model. I’m actually quite surprised Microsoft is panicking so quickly after the Activision purchase.

OPINION: This week's big Xbox drama showcases how little people trust Nadella's Microsoft — a legacy forged in the death of Windows Phone
Xbox uber fans are notorious for freaking out first, asking questions later. But it isn't their fault — it's Microsoft's.

Whatever people think about all these reactions, one thing is very clear, the Xbox brand has been devastated.

How can you take anyone serious whose nick means "toilet seat" in English? Just imagine that guy meeting all kinds of Xbox managers and constantly telling them "Yes, I'm Toilet Seat, happy to finally meet you!"

Hey, I had a $599 USD launch PS3 without a second job. Just not looking forward to paying $80+ for digital games and getting iterative consoles that don’t push the envelope.

“Aww, it’s so...average,” she said to him in a cold brick of passion
All that needs to be said.
If you are so mentally invested in Xbox or PlayStation that finding out that other people will be able to enjoy some games that you have already purchased and enjoyed legitimately affects your emotional health or your day to day life then you need to step back and genuinely seek some help.
No person should be so invested in a brand, company, or IP that it affects their mental health if something happens to it that they don't like.

One of the weirdest messages I have read. Who speaks like that? Who builds a “persona” that they then “take significant steps to reduce” when they lose the console war? One head mate down, N to go I guess.
Man this week just keeps on giving. I say this as a long time Xbox fan, it’s time to put this thing out of its misery, also these laughs are just too good. We even got an entertaining Kotaku article:
The Church Of Xbox Is Going Through Its Own Armageddon
A few rumors and reports were all it took for some console warriors to turn on Microsoft

Yeaaaaaaah I mean it's so sad, I mean pathetically sad.
I play on basically every console since more than 2 decades (before I couldn't because as child I had of course limited options) and I have Xbox consoles in day one at every generation, same goes with PS, Nintendo etc. I've been pretty disappointed with MS decisions into gaming since the Xbox One. And I'm very vocal about how I feel Spencer is doing shit since 2014.
That said I'm not upset about what is happening now. I mean 1st it isn't confirmed, 2nd we're talking about video games (in the past few years my both parents died of cancer, that's some subjects that can actually make you sad), 3rd that doesn't remove the games from you, OK Starfield or Indy will released later on PS5. But you'll still have them first, your Series X will still be as powerful and the controller will be as good, you can keep enjoying your library of games on your console...
Why are they acting like this ? How the fuck can you be so fragile and pathetic childish pricks so "Gngngngn my idol is wanting me to share my toy with other kids gngngngngn", wtf ? MS isn't going anywhere, they are making more money into gaming than Sony or Nintendo, they'll make more and more money into gaming (especially if they now sell their games on PlayStation) so in the end it's good...
I don't think they'll stop to release Xbox consoles, I think they'll stop when Cloud gaming is 100% ready, 100% playable in US/EU/JP, so it gives us time. And the games you paid, digital games, for XSX for exemple, they are still playable on XSX, they'll still be playable on XSX in the future. When you buy a PS4 you have no idea if a PS5 will exist there's always a risk, and when you buy a PS4 game for PS4 you don't sign anything saying that Sony must release a PS5 and that if they do, that PS4 game must be playable on PS5 (for exemple).

The fucking overhead they took on must be MASSIVE.
People parade those Klobrille banners without understanding that a lot of cost and investor attention just got added to the Xbox division's plate.
The fun times are over, now it's time for the hangover.

I can't believe grown men are behaving like this. It's like their souls are stuck at age 14 whilst their bodies aged. It's just not normal. A few of them are over 50 years old! The fuck is wrong with these guys?

It is completely disproportional to their install base.
You don't see anything of this degree for Nintendo or PlayStation.

We've just seen pokemon fans, grown adults sending death threats and essays to Nintendo demanding they destroy a game (palworld) because they think it looks too close to their precious game.

Except option 1, whilst good for the industry would stand a good chance of killing xbox as both hardware and a publisher. At which point microsoft would cut their losses and either sell off or shutter many great studio. This would be shit.
Option 2, whilst continuing the damage to the “value” of games, could well see xbox do well as a 3rd party publisher, and whilst diminishing their hardware further, they’d likely still maintain some sort of hardware solution for now.
They’re spending a metric fuck ton on their gaming division and not seeing corresponding growth, so they’re left with a bunch of shitty option, and whilst microsoft writ large have crazy money to burn, they’ll be wanting to see returns.

I doubt a lot of it is genuine, they have failed to be honest and straight talking time and again before these rumours so I don’t think they will be now. Anything for that social grift .

I was moreso referring to the sheer number of influencers and not their meltdowns on Twitter.We've just seen pokemon fans, grown adults sending death threats and essays to Nintendo demanding they destroy a game (palworld) because they think it looks too close to their precious game.

Problem is, the internet (and the companies on it) created a cottage industry where people can make money just by being fans of popular culture.
Once you show someone their passion can be a money spinner in some way, you utterly and completely warp their attitude towards it.

These idiots only have themselves to blame. Acting like the 360 generation never came to an end. It's just embarrassing.
They should have focused on creating a community that revolved around having fun with XBOX games, make it something unique and create some good memes, good content on YT. It's all just flame war nonsense and sniping at Sony fanboys.
Sony fanboys are just as cringe but they can at least claim market dominance. XBOX has been a sinking ship for years and this sperg out could have been completely avoided if the community didn't revolve around a fake console war full of shit memes.
They couldn't even do a Chad Warden style video. One of the funniest things about Chad Warden is that the PS3 was pretty shite when his videos released. The whole thing was so absurd that it broke the internet. Social media is too big these days to replicate something on that level but I'm sure someone out there could have emulated the vibe and made it viral worthy for a few days. Something to reference down the road and reminisce on, have a few laughs, etc.
They all just look incredibly silly.

Microsoft used to feed the cross-armed Scorpio︎ cult talking points pre-E3.
From Pixel Purity to Series S and Switch.
For some reason I imagine influencers being strapped to a chair with these words being flashed into their eyes.

I think their delusion and wishful thinking really hit them hard. Some of them are still in denial that there is a chance it's not the case.
Its hilarious that most of us who frequent the sales threads saw this coming from a mile away after the the dire performance of the XBS. Yet, the Xbox enthusiasts and faithful still can't believe the results in front of their faces. It should be a shock to no one that MS is going the 3rd party route.
Its also funny seeing some of the vocal team Xbox members in this forum are missing in action / deserters. I hope they are OK.

You would be able to find this with any console collapsing. But I don't have a shadow of a doubt that you find more in Xbox fandom and by a lot. MS community building is a hell of a drug.
Honestly, if I had to guess, I wouldn't worry about gamepass. The fact that they're cost cutting so deeply makes me believe they plan to continue to ride it out with the gamepass strategy.
