No the "really expensive stuff" is still covered by my government where I live. It's just cosmetics and dentistry that isn't and dentistry has been a talking point for the next thing to cover for a long time.

Where do you live that excludes expensive stuff?

Bro in most of the first world everyone has access to healthcare

This is literally a new version of an existing technology tho. It's not really the same as whatever cow poop (likely onion too, right?) Thing you are talking about.

Ya they don't give a shit if you work in a restaurant, they sell to anyone.

This show started off ok but I couldn't finish it tbh.

What's plumbing?

Honestly, I've basically never had the hand not work even in professional kitchens. It's all about the technique and then just doing it really fast and hard

He was by far the best part of Spawn and I would love a new Spawn movie with him playing clown again.

If its only the owners fault how come EA releases fun games sometimes

You mean the game by 343, the studio Microsoft gave multiple chances and multiple extensions plus a massive budget too to make what should have been a slam dunk?

I don't really see how that's Microsofts fault.

What about Minecraft? It's been continuously updated, gotten spinoff games and maybe movies I can't remember. It remains a titan of the gaming industry under Microscoft owned Mojang.

Flight sim is arguably the best looking game ever made and clearly had a pretty large budget even tho it's a niche sim game. (Tho, Microsoft doesn't own asobo.. yet.. somehow)

They continued to fund sea of thieves after a rocky launch and it's great now.

Grounded has been largely developed under Microsoft and just came out with rave reviews.

And again, both Forza and Forza Motorsport are amazing not to mention Turn 10 is making the next Fable game now..

Like ya during the kinect games before Phil Spencer they were trash to their studios but they have been making bangers now, and when double fine sold to them Tim Chaffer even said they intended to be mostly hands off. Their current track record is great.. their biggest fuck up is perfect dark.

Bro that was in the 90s lol

They exist in an ecosystem where you can put anything you want on your computer, apple is way worse for this.

Someone just launched a Linux based gaming machine, recently a great API called vulkan came out that isn't made by Microsoft and it's slowly picking up speed with some very major games being made on it. What did microsoft do to stop any of that?

I mean, do we actually have evidence Microsoft is not doing this with their current acquisitions? It's not as if double fine was the biggest studio ever. Minecraft seems to be doing great under Microsoft. The Forza series are great.

Like ya I'll give you the kinect days were rough but they havent given any reason to worry considering the quality of their current first party titles.

They even pulled sea of thieves together.

Oh my bad I read that wrong.

Double fine is continuing to do exactly what they did before, now they won't have to do things like crowdfund every one of their games.

I'm not saying they are amazing I'm just saying they aren't any better than Sony.

Sony bought every one of those studios too my dude lol

My brother has a ps5 I borrow.

the AAA games on PS plus have basically all either been on game pass or are currently on game pass and it's way cheaper. The only ones they don't have are Sony exclusives.

The ratio of indie games to not indie games is honestly larger on PS plus lol.

Like ya, PS plus is cool too but it's also almost twice as expensive.

Saying shit like "other than the EA games there's nothing" is ignoring 90% of their catalog lol.

Bethesda alone owns ID software and Arkane studios. It's just not "all Indies"

That's absolutely not true lol. They bought double fine right as psychonauts 2 came out, that game is amazing. They bought Bethesda right when one of their studios released Deathloop which then won game of the year.

Ur talking out of your ass my dude.

Game pass absolutely destroys PS plus or any other game service. It's not "a bunch of indies" - every Bethesda game is in there basically, that also means ID games like doom eternal, EA games like battlefield and BioWare RPGs, Forza games, assassins screed odyssey got added recently.

It's pretty clear you have never once even looked at game pass lmao.

Look, I'm. PC gamer. I don't care about your stupid console wars lol. I'm not part of this fanboy shit. Game pass is better, it just is.

Probably the least sketchy major tech company tbh. They mostly deal in data centers, and Xbox is the most consumer friendly console.

They sell your data through windows but that's probs the worst they do.

Microsoft?
