Microsoft: we've given up on consoles. But don't tell our investors that

It's already serious business in laptops and desktops. Just exclusively for Apple's awful little incompatible fiefdom.

I think that’s plain to see by now, even for the investors. They still hold on to saying they’re going to release 10th gen hardware but that could be a PC by then. There are upsides to this for gamers potentially though as I doubt they’ll leave legacy Xbox games stranded and more people will get access to them.

Your not technical savy I guess. It can run anything with some tinkering. You can use steamdb to see what games need to install with proton or ask the developer of indie games what library they use on windows. And there is solutions for everything. I never meet a game wi can't run (except when EA sabotaged their launcher to stop linux users)

I appreciate your perseverance in the face of sourced facts.

I sée no source I give no source, why should o be the one doing the search to answer a windows troll ?

Well, Valve fanboys don’t seem to be concerned with factuality so that might work for you. Hopefully normal people see this for what it is.

Sure, enjoy your day.

Let me paint a picture here. My main computer is a MacBook Air M1, running Mac OS. My HTPC is an old Steam Machine, Asus GR6. It runs Ubuntu. I play current gen games on Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch 2. My only Windows machine is an old ThinkPad that I use to flash settings to my car. I also own plethora of vintage portable consoles and some FPGA for retro stuff. But I commited blasphemy against Valve, and therefore I’m a Windows troll. Lol, grow up.

Lol valve. Don't care about it. I mostly don't use steam, except for multi players games when network is really needed. I pirate everything and pay for games once I knew they are good. I got triggered by your comments about linux not being ready for gaming. It beat the switch easily, it beat the Xbox easily. Don't try to make yourself a victim. You shit on a full ecosystem without knowing and then cry when people telling you on it.

And the dirt finally starts getting thrown onto the casket. RIP XBOX, You really weren’t the same after J Allard left.

They have no idea what they’re doing.

Have you considered addressing the fact that ProtonDB lists about 40% of Windows games as incompatible?

Yeah they probably do, most people just change proton version and quit after trying some common options. It is pretty unhelpful for non mainstream games. You have to look more into wine to set the DLL, tools or dependency which are missing. For exemple most launcher just need the winhttp component and work well. But it is nearly never suggested. Some need to explicitly add a DLL and it's version but same, it is nearly never mentioned.

Don't forget about Xbox Co-Pilot Surface 360 Pro Studio Deluxe Edition AI Agent

Who are you trying to bs saying Wine will solve the issues? Wine app DB is a public thing, Winetricks use is assumed for most entries. I’m done, bye.

I ma not telling it solved anything but you have to do research and learn how to use it, you missed the part I told that you have to tweak for some games. And I don't speak specifically about wine, there are proton ge or wine ge which are options too depending of the situation you have to use vanilla wine, proton, wine ge or protonge and have to change version, it is not user friendly but it work. I play on linux since years, and it may be 2-3 year since I wasn't able to run a game. For more user friendly you have lutris games installer which work pretty well.

Yeah, it's just Apple actually pushing it forward and Microsoft sorta half assing it lol.

Microsoft does not make processors.

I obviously mean with software support, though also https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/15/23960345/microsoft-cpu-gpu-ai-chips-azure-maia-cobalt-specifications-cloud-infrastructure
