Maybe this will make people choose a different console next generation,
Reject consoles, return to PC gaming. As consoles get more and more expensive, with less to offer, it makes less and less sense to continue supporting consoles.
And consider Linux. Microsoft has put ads into Windows, and could do the same thing they’re doing on Xbox if they think they could get away with it. Yeah, some games don’t work on Linux (most do though!), but Linux also doesn’t track or advertise to you.
It’s pretty bad on PC as well, with more and more games requiring kernel level anticheat software. I wish I had something positive to say. Just lots of bad news coming out in gaming it seems.

“Could do”? I haven’t used Windows in a decade at least, but doesn’t it have ads in the start menu now?
I think so? I know they used to pre-install Candy Crush or whatever, but I’m not sure what Windows 11 does these days.
Regardless, that’s not going to happen on Linux, but it totally could (does already?) on Windows.
