Has Xbox Considered Laying One Person Off Instead Of Thousands
None of the people being laid off were responsible for the decisions that have led to these layoffs

Let me share my Xbox experience? I'm mid-40s. Owned Xboxes since literally the OG Xbox 1.
I originally bought this thing to play with my brother split screen. Nowadays I want to play split screen with my son.
Yet somehow there's no fucking split screen games anymore. The last two or three AAA games I purchased I played for a few hours and then never loaded again.
And the other day when I loaded up call of duty Black ops 3 to play zombies (this is like a 10 year old game now) I found that because I let my Xbox Gold live whatever the fuck subscription expire, I can't play "online" and use my unlocked items even though I'm doing local play.
So from this guy what in the fucking fuck xbox. This is some kind of device designed to clean out my wallet for eternity and not deliver what I actually want.
I pretty much exclusively use my Xbox as a YouTube player now.
That really sucks. Consoles these days are just pcs with expensive libraries. If you can muster playing on pc with your son, the games are cheaper and I highly recommend it. On steam, you can filter by local coop and hook up two controllers to get a similar experience. You can even try emulating older games like on the ps2.
I’m having a similar experience with the PS5. Been playing since Gran Turismo on the PS1 and have it in the living room with multiple controllers. Thing is…like you said there’s no couch coop anymore, if 3 of us want to shoot zombies on the same map it just can’t but 2 player is there…with giant black bars on the sides to make it 4:3 on my 65” tv.
We’ve spent more time playing Balatro than COD the last few weeks, smaller cheaper games are simply a better deal right now with the price tag and all the mtx
Borderlands, sports, indie titles are still good options
You might be right, probably worth looking into. I just have so little time to invest in new titles or any learning curve or really any game that takes a ton of grinding before it's fun
You can but don't need to grind any of the Borderlands games until super late finished the game 3 times with the same character already end game, and by that time it's fun to just start a new character of a different class. Handsome collection, playing 2 in particular is the best. And that collection works for up to 4 player locally
