Yeah sure because Win11 and Xbox haven‘t been a complete dumpster fire…

X for doubt.

It's like when Twitter went downhill, everyone moved to [next corporate owned thing, yet to be enshittified. Anything but the fediverse.]

Okay… hear me out. I am not trying to play devils advocate here but I would like to point out some things regarding the backlash and ask some questions since I may be out of the loop.

From all that I have read it’s about no more discs.

People are talking about moving to Xbox or PC. Full disclosure I do Xbox because my big group does but I also play PC games. I did get a PS3 when Xbox did their dumb shit.

Xbox still has a disc drive but most of the time it’s all online. Including all updates.

PC still/can have a disc drive but most people including myself use Steam. Or ya know EA, Unreal, GOG. These are still digital downloads. With the exception of GOG (based on the last purchase I made) there is still a drm requirement and checking in. How is this any different?
