    This kind of thing is the reason I’ve started moving completely away from Microsoft platforms, including Windows. Microsoft is getting more and more invasive and aggressive pushing advertising onto people in their own private spaces, and that is unacceptable.

    Since I’m a PC gamer first and foremost, I don’t use XBox… and after this, I won’t. Ever. This was just MS dipping their toes in to see if they could get away with it.

    Thankfully, with Valve continuing to rapidly improve Proton, just about any Windows game runs on Linux now with very little elbow grease. No Microsoft necessary.
