It was great when I first got it, but I ended but getting fatigued with it. New releases wanted time investment, but the rising costs meant I felt I should play more stuff. In the end everything I wanted to play required time and I felt that I was no longer getting value out of it. It would have cost less to not have it and just buy the game for some titles.

I think that’s how it went down for most people.

I remember getting free games with Gold back on the 360 and One. Eventually they became unplayable without the subscription. Kinda enshitified.

There’s just something about your progression being tied to a subscription that makes you want to invest less in the game.

Welp, one way to screw up is to buy shitloads of studios, then do absolutely nothing with them.

It is utter insanity that they have owned Bethesda this long, released two seasons of Fallout on TV, and have given fans NOTHING on the game front.

Fallout 76 does not count for 95% of the fan base.

Microsoft and Xbox have been more stupid that just about any company I can think of.

Starfield was so unimpactful this guy forgot it even existed.

That starfield was the only project Bethesda had going at all is absolute corporate malpractice
