After laying off almost 2,000 people, Xbox finds itself in a position at odds with the community-first image it has cultivated for itself.

No console is your friend. Only PC can be friend.

Moral of the story: build your friends.

*own them

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Replace their parts..... Like uh, like friends do.

[–] MrCookieRespect@reddthat.com 1 points 9 months ago

I mean a good friend helps you when you need new eyes...

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

What if I'm renting them?

[–] MrCookieRespect@reddthat.com 2 points 9 months ago

Bad. You either own something or you are a looser.

[–] aniki@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Renting means playing on the timeline of capitalism. You should buy it as cheap as possible so you can enjoy it when you want, not when they want you to.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I mean, I'd be buying new laptop pretty often anyway, because I'm using it for work, so in this specific case it's actually cheaper to rent. Though it remains to be seen whether they'll lend me a new one once I return this one because they'll be the ones losing money here.

I'm confused, what are you renting, for how long, and for how much? And what do you need it to do? I'm wondering because renting is almost always a worse deal.

linux is my only friend

[–] MrCookieRespect@reddthat.com 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Exactly.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

Yup, don't tell my wife.

Only PC can be friend.

Not if it's running Windows.

Btw, they're using "Xbox" synonymous with the Microsoft video games division because that's how Microsoft is using the term as well. If you think using the same term for two completely different things is dumb, please remember that's the same company that thought that naming the third Xbox console generation "Xbox One" is an amazing idea and then releasing "Xbox Series S" and "Xbox Series X" after "Xbox One S" and "Xbox One X" were already around.
