Well maybe stop putting advertising banners on my premium console’s home screen for one.
Also, I actually don’t agree with this. Having one store for a console makes it simple, and allows Microsoft to act as a sort of second quality control barrier. They wont allow certain game updates to be pushed if they cause certain problems on the hardware, and if another store is allowed then arguably that new store will have less protections for the end user.
On a PC or a phone it makes sense to have multiple storefronts because you use those devices for more than only video games. Not the same for video game consoles.
Nobody in the history of ever has said “Boy, I would buy an Xbox but only if I can buy games on the Epic Games Store.”
Granted I haven’t read the article so might just be making stuff up, but if it’s more for “Oh you own this game on the Epic store on PC, well you don’t have to buy it on the Xbox store” then that’s a reason to have them on there. That’s how a lot of Xbox games work, since I bought them on Xbox I still have access to them on PC through the Xbox app so it’d be expanding that to other stores
That would be good, I’m all for more cross platform licensing and PC-Console is the obvious bridge as there isn’t the direct competition that console-console would have.
‘Premium console’ LOL They are delivering premium ads to your premium console and you will like it AND deal with it.
A Series X is a premium console like the One X, and Xbox 360 Elite before it. It costs extra and has more powerful hardware and more storage.
No, I will not like it. As it is I have significantly reduced usage of my Xbox console because 1. The ads on the homescreen are a major annoyance, and 2. The games I play with friends are more suitable to play on PC, like Stellaris.
Every survey Microsoft sends me I always complain about the ads. And like, I am not against them having ads on the console, sometimes they can be helpful and alert me to sales or new game releases I didnt know about. But dont put them on the homescreen, literally add a new tab called “What’s New” and move the ads there. They can have an entire screen of ads in that case, and even map it to like, moving the left stick to the left, if the selection always defaults to the left-most game on the homescreen.
used to refer to something that is of higher than usual quality
Premium goods are of a higher than usual quality and are often expensive.
What exactly makes the Series X not premium? It is higher in quality than their other console, the Series S, and cost more.
