I have defied gods and demons. I am your shield; I am your sword. I know you; your past, your future. This is the way the world Xbox ends.

Sheesh, kind of an odd venue to make a statement on this. 

CNBC is all about business and finance, and this decision clearly came from Microsoft's Chief Financial Officer, Amy Hood, so I guess it's fitting in a way. They don't really care about the feelings of the loyal Xbox fans they are hurting with this decision, they only care about the money.

True, thinking of it that way I guess this is the perfect place to announce it lol.

I have that same soft spot as well for Xbox hardware and games. Xbox has been my go to console since the original Xbox  and I totally understand why some are upset by these changes. But I'm not going to let my love for games overall go away because my preferred console is changing course. As long as I can still play my favorite Xbox games, I'll be good. 

Well, if you tell me which comment.
I'm not a robot, so we can have a conversation.

Jeff Grubb just said MS won't talk about this until the end of this month. They can't possibly stay silent on this matter for that long... surely. lmao

Maybe it's because the user base is so small.

I'm glad everyone is having calm, not in any way emotional, rational discussions about the future of Xbox. 

That does not make sense. The decision would be Microsoft's anyway. Square Enix aren't the ones that decide you need to subscribe to gamepass to play FFXIV. It does not really have anything to do with Square.
