If Microsoft were true believers, they'd have taken Five Nights at Freddy's off Game Pass when there was the big push to cancel the creator. There's a lot of times they could have gone full retard and chose not to, I still consider them the most sane of the big tech companies.
Nothing they've done there is more than the typical "we'll do this so you don't destroy us." attitude of all Nasdaq companies since the Nasdaq CEO threatened to delist companies that didn't bow to a feminist agenda.
Putting out a basic message is one thing, opening up entire divisions and joining a coalition with Facebook to displace male employees for female hires is a whole other thing.
Gears of War 4 was terrible, but adding in an "empowered" female sidekick is the kind of lip service you would expect to keep the harpies off your back.
Rebranding their most masculine franchise into a feminist power-trip and using it to promote the globohomo agenda is way beyond the pale.
It wouldn't matter if they weren't though, through work and prior purchases, I'm tied to Microsoft for life anyway.
Ah, so you're just a fanboy. I can understand that. I used to be one way back in the day, but I have more of a zero tolerance policy these days for any company openly supporting the globohomo agenda and advocating to replace skilled (male) workers with female diversity hires.
Notch did some questionable things that implied anti-Semitism, which is a lot more likely to get you canceled than being anti-SJW.
It's still less than most other tech companies have done, unbelievably.
All the Gears games since Epic lost the license have been total shit. That's why they turned it into a propaganda mill, at least it has a use that way. Look at Microsoft at E3, they were nowhere near the level of insanity that others reached. They did their show and left, others did massive zoom meetings about racism and sexism for people to watch.
I'm not a fanboy, I just understand that I'm stuck with Office and Windows and I'll never play PC so I'm stuck with Xbox.
PC is full of cheaters, there's no good racing games (No, I'm not paying for iRacing. I could literally buy a real life car for how much it costs to play that shit.), I prefer to keep my work separate from my games, I can't be bothered to constantly upgrade parts, AMD is run by a woman and Intel is full woke, the only computers I've used that I liked were from Lenovo, that's Chinese and I give enough money to China through Epic.

Have you tried Forza 7 on PC? Looks much better than on the Xbox, plus it has native steering wheel support. Works great with Fanatec's gear. Force feedback isn't as good as it is on Assetto Corsa, though.
Speaking of Assetto Corsa... the PC version has the content manager, which is perfect for downloading all sorts of awesome vehicles. Many of the vehicles I wanted were part of the DLC pack (including the Toyota AE86). But I also nabbed the Ford Interceptor (Mad Max FTW) and a few other classics. Great selection of tracks and the handling is decent enough, especially if you have a steering wheel set.

I used to browse PC Parts Picker: https://pcpartpicker.com/
...but eventually just went with a gaming rig back in 2017 and haven't had to touch it since. Still runs everything at 4K and 60fps where possible, and the ability to use stuff like NucleusCoop makes it perfect for playing online-only games via split-screen without having to worry about cheaters or hackers.
You are aware Xbox and PlayStation are both pretty much PCs with a closed off os. They even use amd parts. You don’t have to constantly upgrade just don’t buy the cheapest pc on the market. And Forza, the crew and pretty much every other racing game is on pc. And I recall playing halo 2 against cheaters on the Xbox.
Except they did bar Notch from attending an event for the game he created: https://www.businessinsider.com/minecraft-creator-markus-notch-persson-barred-from-10-year-anniversary-2019-4

Seriously, why?

I think that's enough reasons.

How is this relevant? Who do you think makes the chips that drive the consoles?

here you go, fren. I've yet to see the Office file it can't handle
Dude, 90% of what runs in windows can run in Linux without any tweaking, And since most of that is games and you'll
odds are you should be fine.
In the rare instance that something absolutely refuses to bend to your will and run under Linux, dual-booting/virtual machines are always options.
