So with the later being a non-starter is the former even worth it in light of Steamdeck?

Interesting. They're trying to do the Steam Deck thing. This has potential, as I saw the Xbox software is trying to be GOG Galaxy/Playnite.

Ally has a slightly better deck chip. Youre probably better getting the z2go legion. The ally x is using z2e Ai, no clue whst the ai shit actually adds. Youre probably better getting the claw 8ai until Intel drops support.

PC + Xbox.
You buy an Xbox game from Microsoft, you'll get it on their Windows software too.

Their new software update is actually quite good. It just works. I hope they let you change from icons to covers.

So, they're positioning themselves as a middle man between the player and Steam? With the Steam EGS frontend as well for extra middle man?

They want you to subscribe to Game Pass.
To access those games, you use the Xbox launcher.
If you have Steam on your PC, it automatically connects to it without you having to login, download anything anything additional, etc.

IMO it's what Timmy at EGS should've done, rather than try to make a console war out of it. A war of convenience. Microsoft knows you're probably never buying an Xbox game over Steam, but you'll pay to play games via Game Pass.

Okay, so it's a storefront aggregator, with an inticing offer to buy a sub from MS. This would only really work if there were more than 1 large storefront and people had a legit difficult time using multiple storefronts. Nokia/MS did something very cool for WP8 that was a social media aggregator, basically an app that accessed all of your social media feeds and displayed them in one feed, with the ability to reply from one social media account to another, xposting, coherent people tracking across social media, etc. It was called the "Peolple" app and it was legit awesome, you didn't need to have a dozen tabs open or to remember which friend used which network or login in/out to get from one account to another, etc. They ruined it in WP8.1 by turning it into a glorified contacts lists for reasons I've never heard a good explanation for. Probabaly legal/ToS stuff with all the social media companies, I'd guess.

So, in theory this could work. MS (or Nokia?) has shown the ability to do something similar in the past. But in practice you've got at most 2 storefronts and Discord. That's not a lot of management that the device/service is picking up, and locking yourself into a shitty hardware config isn't a good trade off.

I'm going to subscribe to not buying anything more expensive than a proper console much less with windows OS.

Yeah, I think that's what they're trying to do. There were a few similar apps on Windows (I vaguely remember) and I had one too. It was just so nice using one software for Twitter, Facebook and Bebo.

Ah yes because buying a $1000 brick for the sole purpose of paying a rent to play games is what PC gamers do.

I don't have a lot of internet friends but every single one of them that uses Gamepass is either scamming it for $1 or on some kind of trial account. I see randoms posting about it but I don't trust anyone on the internet that I don't know elsewise.

Wait. So if Silksong is confirmed to release at October 16 at the very latest, and quite strongly hinted to be releasing sooner.
And with October 16 being only two months away.

Could Silksong, unironically, actually and genuinely. Shadow drop in 24 hours during the Team Cherry special announcement?

In theory its 20% faster, but since modern titles struggle to hit 30 at 720p on the z1e, we are talking 4 frames
