Not trivial by any means. Ms is forcing its way with a "all in one" solution for private companies and public administrations all around Europe offering cloud, videoconference and productivity suite. Other companies can't compete with the "full package" Ms offers or are heavily undercutted by price. I am a victim of it, so am forced to use that shitty program.
Other companies can't compete with all the bribery that leads to companies and governments going with MS shitty software.

Not as much as some seem to think. Between no PS or Nintendo versions, and Game Pass being a means of accessing the game for "free" (even including PC Game Pass's growth), lifetime sales probably won't exceed 14 million.

And most of those will be on PC. If the game isn't quite up to expectations, Xbox sales would suffer the most and could drag lifetime down to 12 million.

For a 1P Microsoft game those are still really good numbers, they haven't had an XGS game do that in ages. But I think people expecting Skyrim or even Elden Ring-like numbers are setting themselves up for massive disappointment.

I already played No Man Sky and you could land where you wanted in that game, build bases on any planet and you didnt get a loading screen when you entered a building! LOL

I'm sure it has a lot to offer fans of Bethesda games and I would have probably played it if it was on PS5 but it's certainly not enough to get me to buy a new platform or even go out of my way to get access to it.... Much like Star Citizen but not as impressive. I didn't go out and buy a 3K rig to play Star Citizen and I think that's just about the coolest thing not on PlayStation TBH.

But what I wanted to say to everyone on these news free days is.... thanks to everyone who joined this place, thanks for posting and making it more interesting and adding depth to our conversations. We appreciate all of you here!

We're just 2 away from hitting 600 members and we are growing at a faster pace than ever. <3

Who? I’ll play it and I ain’t buying it. And I like buying games. No way in hell I’m buying it though, not when I have my 1 dollar game pass. And I don’t want to support it by buying it anyway.

Game Pass and "buying his shit" are mutually exclusive.

I also don't think his name has the pull you are suggesting it does.
