Anytime someone offers a logical and realistic takedown of one of the arguments, it’s always met with some nonsensical dismissal.
Microsoft will lose shit tons of revenue from services and licensing fees and digital cuts? Oh well that’s fine, they’ll suddenly have hundreds of millions of GamePass subs to compensate!
well, streaming pretty much sucks. Games lag too much. Oh well that’s fine because they’re not unplayable! People don’t even care if the games are a laggy mess, they just want to play them!
Actually in many cases the games are unplayable. xCloud is a nice alternative for some games if you’re out and about and away from actual hardware, but it’s still way too laggy to be the norm. And people do care how the experience is.
