I was one of those people. Yes I still have some remaining time left on my Gamepass Ultimate subscription, but I purchased a mid-level gaming pc and a bunch of Steam games. It’ll be cheaper in the long run for me.
I’ve pulled off the Xbox band-aid and even reverting the price hike won’t persuade me to go back. I’ve been a continuous subscriber since mid-360 days.
Bump for humble. Run it for a year or two and you’ll have a scary backlist in no time. Though I also have a bunch of shit (imo not actually) games from the early days before the pick system that I’ll never play.
Yes. I’ll allow mistakes to happen, one mistake does not erase all of the good they’ve done. They keep doing it, that changes things, but they admitted it and apologized.
See I thought that it was just them being super unprofessional and letting the robot do their marketing for them and not even proofreading. Is that not still the case here?
Here’s a question, why have it at all? It was not sent out to Germany with it. Why not just make that version the only one? Leave your emojis out of your subject lines and have your marketing team embed a professional image in the body, thats enough.
I’ve been a PC gamer for decades, but completely stopped being also a console gamer after PS3.
You can have a great time at the mid level, or even lower on PC. I built my mid range PC in 2016, and only just a few months ago did I upgrade my processor from an AMD 1600X to a 5600x and my Nvidia 1060 GPU to a Radeon 6600 XT. Cost me $350 for the both of them. Went the Radeon route because it plays nicer with Linux.
There’s enough great games out there worth playing that I’ll be able to enjoy this system for the next several years.

Welcome friend, even midlevel will open you to a world of gaming.
Remember the order of purchases should be GOG (DRM free games), then Steam, then shittier platforms.
Older games especially, things like the older fallout games you’ll be able to pick up for <$5 and play for 60+ hours
I would put Humble Bundle bundles at the top of the list.
I would put independent developers at the top of the list. Couple examples

Gog top even after their Nazi symbols email recently?

Yes, that was not intentional.
There were lightning bolts that were supposed to be at the beginning and end of a phrase that ended up getting moved side by side.

Same and never going back. They had me since the OG Xbox. Microsoft is an absolute shit show of an anti-consumer company.
Don’t forget to check itch.io for crazy shit indies can come up with, a lot of it free, some paid.
