    They are going to stop making consoles and start selling GamePass only. I think I’m done with consoles and will just play the catalog of games I currently have ad infinitum.

      That’s why I sold my Xbox and ps honestly and moved back to steam. I’ve got hundreds of games, many I’ve barely played.

        At this point my Xbox exists for exactly three reasons.

        1: BluRay player
        2: Borderlands 4 with a friend who only has Xbox
        3: Stream my PC to the TV with Moonlight so I can play PC games on the couch.
