    We’re stuck with this kind of behaviour though. What am I going to do? Throw out my Xbox because I don’t like what they’re doing? Maybe this will make people choose a different console next generation, but that’s barely sending a message if there’s only a couple of viable options.

      Reject consoles, return to PC gaming. As consoles get more and more expensive, with less to offer, it makes less and less sense to continue supporting consoles.

        And consider Linux. Microsoft has put ads into Windows, and could do the same thing they’re doing on Xbox if they think they could get away with it. Yeah, some games don’t work on Linux (most do though!), but Linux also doesn’t track or advertise to you.

        It’s pretty bad on PC as well, with more and more games requiring kernel level anticheat software. I wish I had something positive to say. Just lots of bad news coming out in gaming it seems.
