QOL features like Play Anywhere and Quick Resume have been game changing too. No pun intended 😅

I can only speak to my experience, but it's been largely positive this gen. Sure Gamepass pricing went up but I've played 45 games this year alone and loved most of them. First party titles like Avowed, South of Midnight, Keeper and Outer Worlds 2 have quickly become some of my all time favorites.

I just don't see it that way. He was talking about the viewership on videos over the last year and I was offering insight as to why I (and maybe others) have stopped watching. The moves Xbox has made aren't what's affecting my viewing habits. The tone of their content is.

I can appreciate that read on it. Earlier in the generation I would even have agreed with it, but as Microsoft has shifted to an ecosystem first approach the tone has shifted. If they act like it's a chore to cover the platform then how can I trust they're being as thorough as they are with others?

That would be totally fine! I want to know when a port has issues but the tone of DF Xbox coverage varies from dismissive to hostile these days. Check out the transition from Switch to Series S coverage in the FF7 Remake video for a recent example. It just drives me away from their videos.

I can't speak for everyone, but the tone of Xbox coverage has led to me skipping out on videos I otherwise would have watched. If Switch or PS5 was your platform of choice and this is how it was covered would you click on the video?

Shuten Order feels like a game that was murdered by it's localization. Especially after 100 Line was such a success. Could someone at Square Enix point to that as an example or was it too small a project compared to something like a Final Fantasy?

This may be a silly question but have you tried Wintoys? It's available on the Microsoft store and I've used it to disable new windows nonsense for years without issue.

I can't vouch for smaller school districts, but the ones in our area already send out text alerts for things like early release and changes to the pickup process.

If you were using a full size Surface Laptop before, this might be a slight downgrade but there's an open box Surface Laptop Go 3 in Texarkana for under $300
