Xbox users booting up their console today were greeted with a large splash screen prompting them to buy it now that the new campaign is out, and some of them aren't too happy about it.

I don't think it's that big of a deal if it's an event or 1p release but I can see why people wouldn't like it tbh,

For the love of all things holy, can you people, for once in your lives, oppose something on principle? This weak-ass justification, this "it ain't that bad" shit is exactly why we end up with something far worse in a few years. They count on this.

Do you know what Microsoft learned from the Xbox One launch? They didn't learn not to be anti-consumer, they just learned that they need to do so slowly and gradually. The mistake they made was going too hard too fast, and creating kickback. They learned to implement little things, the things that "aren't that bad". And then another one a few months later. And another one after that.

It's called boiling a frog. It works because of the average person's passivism.

So please, I'm begging you, think forward. Develop some pattern recognition. Stop downplaying the minor things just to be contrarian and defend a billion dollar company from perfectly valid criticism.

Youtube wasn't that bad when you could skip one 5 second ad as well.

I remember back when Hulu was free, and they gave you a choice of 1 ad watch at the beginning to “pay” for your video
