After wasting an obscene amount of money on Activision Blizzard, their approach is now: Fire most developers and have the remaining ones use AI tools to compensate. Release all games for PlayStation and Switch (2) as well. End Xbox hardware development and license the brand to 3rd parties who need to make money on the hardware because it's not subsidized by Microsoft. Make the competition, Steam Deck and even Switch 2 of all things, look like a steal by comparison. I'm confident 80% of the people here would make better business decisions.

Lmao no way. I bought the original Ally. No way I’d ever upgrade to this.

It’s the only way I want to use a mouse cursor on a handheld now. So I definitely won’t “upgrade” to the Xbox-branded thing (even if I have been an “Xbox guy” since forever).

At some point you’re forced to interact with regular windows and doing so on the Ally sucks. I know they’re coming out with an Xbox mode that’s supposed to not suck but we’ll see.
