    Just don’t play Microsoft games. They crippled or outright destroyed all their former good game studios anyway. So it’s not like they will be making great games you can’t live without anyway.

    Its so amazing that we had so many routes to make things better and better. Technology promised such an amazing future. Of course, greed ruined that and here we are. We fumbled the bag people…

    Micro$oft will be the next Google advertising company, with a browser & software as it’s side hustle. Advertising is a cancer.

      It’s not the OS doing it, it’s the game itself adding the ads to pause screens, loading screens, etc.
