I wonder if that’s the ulterior motive.

Intentionally making a service bad which leads to lower usage, which then gives Microslop a solid reason to cut corners or even dissolve Xbox entirely which means they can funnel every resources into their AI obsession.

Either that, or they’re incredibly out of touch on everything.

Or both.

Tinfoil hats on, of course. Wouldn’t put it pass em to do it tho.

Why would Microsoft develop, market and produce a new Xbox which is coming next year, if they wanted to shut down Xbox?

It's just a PC with Xbox logo. There will not be Xbox Helix native games.
