Oh god no, I'm very scared what they are getting inspired by. I wish they just looked at Sony and said "our competitors are making big bucks with singleplayer games, we should try it too!" but nope.

That's why I want them to go 3rd party or just stick to making PC games, soon.  And if the Scorpio falls flat on its face, there's a good chance they do.  Lately, they just keep introducing horrible ideas to gaming that are completely obvious in their nature, to suck as much dough out of consumers as possible.  And Xbox fans just eat it up.  And they wonder why Xbox is in the spot it's in.
  • EA Access
  • Bethesda mods
  • Steam-like refund policy
  • XBox Game Pass
  • Backwards compatibility
  • 4K Blu-Ray player

Horrible ideas! That backwards compatibility, I tell ya! Doesn't Microsoft know charging a fee to allow previous-gen titles to stream on your current-gen console is more consumer-friendly? And that completely-optional EA Access? Bah! EA Access "does not bring the kind of value ... customers" who can't be left to decide for themselves "have come to expect". Attempts at emulating Steam-like refunds? Giving people their money back for digital purchases is the definition of anti-consumer! It's in the dictionary! And a built-in 4K blu-ray player is so horribly ANTI-CONSUMER! Consumers WANT to buy a separate 4k blu-ray player for their 4k blu-ray player needs.
