I don't agree with punishing the developers for what Microsoft did and I don't agree with "They're going to get closed anyway so lets speed up their death" poorly thought out logic, I would say if you want to support Microsoft less but still want to support the developers then buy 3rd parties and 1st parties outside of the Microsoft Store (I.E. Steam) that way you're still supporting developers but you aren't giving Microsoft any extra money I.E. the 30% cut that Microsoft takes on every transaction on their store.

But I'm not going to attack anyone for still using things like Game Pass because it's an incredible deal and quite frankly people just don't have the money to spend on $80 releases. I'm also not going to attack anyone for still sticking with Xbox. Really they're all shit. What I'm going to do is probably buy the Asus Xbox Ally X and start my transition to PC, then once some Xbox/PC hybrid releases I will buy that, I won't really care if it's Xbox made or 3rd party made, but once I've bought that I will start transitioning all my non-Game Pass purchases over to Steam so I'll be cutting how much I support Microsoft down in ways I can whilst still supporting developers.

I thought about it and considered dropping all MS stuff. But I think the solid thing is to buy what you want and signal your wishes that way. I will keep Gamepass as long as it has interesting games, including the creative stuff from Obsidian. I will keep ESO+, as long as ESO still keeps me entertained. But if Gamepass becomes only a Call of Duty pass and content for ESO dries up, then I will move on. Gamepass is good value in the moment, but MS just undercut it's future, as all these cancelled games (also the external published ones, I guess the Romero Game they published would've had a Gamepass deal) will come back to bite them in form of droughts of interesting material. And no, COD will not do it for me. I will try Grounded 2. I will try Clockwork Revolution. If things end after that, then will my Gamepass sub end.

Oh I can't actually leave Xbox yet either because I have 1000 hours in ESO and it's not cross-save, Lol.

But yeah, I'm sticking with Game Pass because it's still incredible value to me, I will still play what I want on Game Pass, but in the future anything not on Game Pass I'm going to end up buying on Steam once Xbox makes the merge of Xbox/PC and I wouldn't have done that before yesterday, the only reason I'm doing it now is that I'm so angry at Microsoft, Lol.

ROG Xbox Ally is more of an ASUS creation as well. If Xbox goes the OEM route for future "Console" devices then "Xbox made" will not be a factor at all if I buy it, if there's an OEM device which is more powerful than the Xbox made one then I'm buying that one instead, but for now I just want something to ease me into PC Gaming and this seems like a smart idea to do that while I keep my Xbox Series X.
