    Okay people are going to hate me for this, but I like cloud gaming when I have it. Play a couple of games I’d never buy and move on with my life. No download times, etc.

    If it’s a game I want I’ll buy it to keep if it does ever go offline or I chose to end my gamepass subscription.

    Frankly the only thing that keeps me from using it more is the ridiculous price of game pass these days. It’s basically moved me away from Xbox/Microsoft entirely. And that’s why after this Xbox one dies I’m not buying from them again.

    But without the price gouging, I really like cloud gaming. Truthfully I haven’t come across many games that you can’t buy a copy for. Some smaller games are digital only and of course the dlc, but this is a decade old issue unrelated to cloud gaming

        There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Guilting me for enjoying a game in my off time is not productive. I also wouldn’t do the same to you. That’s ridiculous.

        I could go to work, eat, sleep, and nothing else. I could carry a single hand crank lantern room to room, and it wouldn’t even come close to mitigating the damage done by exxon just this year alone.
