This is a bit hilarious.

Bear with me because it’s getting out of hand.

Micro Soft

Microcomputer software

Broke into the mainstream by being able to hot swap a game.

That grew into the only American driven hardware gaming company: Xbox

The Xbox broke into the mainstream by being able to connect four of them together to have 16 people playing games together under one roof

Now read this article again and laugh a little, it is okay, they’re the driver of this global dystopia and the state of play on Xbox is just the canary of how bad AI is going.

tbh I never knew about that. I always assumed it was Halo that drove those early sales.

NVIDIA GeforceNow also caps at 100 hours/month, though it doesn’t sell a game subscription with it obviously. Then again it comes in at less than half the price of Game Pass Ultimate.

Hilariously out of touch lol. Lmao even. 5 hours per month is how you know not a single person within the entire decision structure has engaged with their own product.

Reminds me of old cellphone plans where you could send up to 30 texts a month for free.

5 hours per month? Good lord.

The concept of having a limit doesn't seem too crazy to me, but yea, 5 hours is just so restrictive.

Like, if it doesn't have aggressive idle-detection, I'd eat my entire 5-hours on a pause menu while dealing with an upset-baby.

5-hours/month just seems like it would be totally useless for someone with frequent interruptions.
