| ice said: What's everyone's Xbox eXit plan? |
I've always gamed on all platforms. Xbox was where most of my friends and family were so I always eventually purchased one. Playstation was my go to for JRPG's, and Nintendo was for my Zeldas and Marios. I always bought both the handhelds and home consoles for Nintendo. I have both portables for Playstation and consoles PS1-PS4, I haven't purchased a PS5, and may not get a Playstation this generation. Nintendo is doing a better job in the JRPG department and I will likely just heavily invest into the Switch 2 (as long as it still has physical carts).
I have thought about getting back into PC gaming, but I'm not sure I'm willing to put in the effort. I burned out on it in the past and it doesn't have the appeal to me anymore.
As far as an exit plan? Man I was just getting my collection nice and beefy and was looking forward to the next 4 years of accumulating a larger backlog. With the physical media being pulled from many storefronts, that was already a major bummer for me. And with the rumors of Xbox hardware facing a possible extinction, it just got me to thinking that Playstation will be following shortly after and of course Nintendo would be the last one to follow, but the writing is on the wall. Xbox is getting the head start out of the three of them, but the other two will follow suit as well.
It is a sad turning point for the gaming industry. Money/greed over everything. There will be no long term winners, except for maybe the ones who got large severance packages and are set for life in retirement.
Could everything eventually correct itself at a later date? Maybe, but I doubt I'll be waiting around for that to happen. I've got better shit to do.
What's everyone's Xbox exit plan? I'm not leaving Xbox, Xbox is leaving me.
...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.
