XBox Series X + Game Pass is probably my favorite console ever. Calling it unremarkable just means you are either joyless and hate everything or don't like console video games but want to fit in.

Also I think bouncing off Persona 5 is not that weird since it isn't a very good game. The other ones are a better intro to the series and ideally would have been put on GP first

My favourite consoles had lots of new and exciting games on them, but that's just my preference.

I use my PS5 constantly and barely use my Xbox unless something I want to play drops on gamepass, but it's mainly because that is where everyone I play games with is and where 85% of my game library is. Both consoles are quality and pretty unremarkable at the same time. I can't imagine having any sort of horse in the race except Playstation actually does bankroll exclusives and there isn't a single thing on Xbox I can't play on PC. I have no reason to even have an Xbox other than that I like it, but that seems like a good enough reason to keep it around.

Hey Xbox bankrolls exclusives too they just keep them super exclusive and don't release them!

Microsoft loses bid to pause gamers' lawsuit over Activision deal

Reuters posted:

A U.S. judge in California on Thursday turned down Microsoft Corp's bid to freeze a private consumer antitrust lawsuit over the company's $69 billion deal to acquire "Call of Duty" maker Activision Blizzard Inc while a related regulatory challenge to the deal plays out.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley in San Francisco comes after gamers opposed Microsoft's request to stay their case pending resolution of a Federal Trade Commission challenge in Washington, D.C.

The 10 plaintiffs argue, in claims similar to the FTC's, that the Activision deal would harm competition in the video game industry by reducing consumer choice and raising prices. The FTC has not asked a U.S. judge to enjoin the deal.

Corley said she will hear the gamers' bid on March 23 for a preliminary injunction to block Microsoft's proposed purchase of Activision.

Everyone get your briefs submitted to the court requesting that we be added to this class of supposed gamers. Someone's going to have to make the case that rampant unchecked corporate consolidation will put THPS1+2 on game pass.

They seem pretty clear they're only talking about Redfall, ESO, Minecraft, and Forza. maybe another I'm forgetting.

It’s pretty crazy to me that if you don’t own a copy already, there is currently no way to play a Forza Motorsport game on Xbox

They've also been saying there will be Game Pass announcements. I could see a release date announcement for Goldeneye there.

I mean I use my Xbox regularly to play ion fury, prodeus, and old games but you know it would nice to have some new games to play. What I mean is Microsoft has acquired 100s of IPs over the years and can’t seem to get a game out because of bad project management.

Now they are acquiring activision and Phil Spencer is talking up a big game how they’re gonna bring back Hexen and all this poo poo and I’m just thinking dude with your managers you’ll be lucky to get a functional call of duty out the door.
