      Those were the days huh. Now it’d make more sense to spend money on other hobbies, maybe start a collection of electric guitar effects pedals hahaha.

    Xbox is getting so fucked by the ram shortage their parent company helped engineer. It’s karma, bitches.

      Yes but no. Gaming is a small percentage of Microsoft’s profit

        Where’s the no? Is the Xbox segment, regardless of the overall impact they have on the company profit, not getting fucked over by the massive push towards AI that the rest of the company is diving directly into? I really don’t see a contradiction you’re implying.

    “Gaming is too expensive” - Microsoft

    “AI is the future; we’re spending hundreds of billions on it” - Also Microsoft

      I’d buy a Series X - I have been meaning to buy one for a few years, but the jobs barely cover the cost of rent these days so there’s also that to deal with.
