meh, i can’t tell if this is good or not
xbox game pass feels like it’s against everything linux stands for
Willingly giving Microsoft money in 2026 is insane tbh

For people like me who just adore and love the forza horizon series, it will be the only way to play without windows or repurchasing newer titles on steam. It’s a clear plus in my book. Fuck microslop tho.
or, you can just pirate and never give money to the antichrist
Tried. Pirating whilst playing online is quite the tricky thing to do without getting banned. :D
Yikes. I don’t play many online games so I am not very knowledgeable on the situation over there. I just used online-fix a few times and it was so horrible I had to buy my second piece of paid software.
Always good to give more access to software. I have no use for it, but I very well could in the future.
… chaos is a ladder.
I think overall it will be good. We already rely on windows dependent games anyway for 90% of the gaming on the platform. So I don’t see why gamepass would be any different than wine or proton.
If we were gonna hold that line, then really we should have been super against having any type of transitional layer as a whole. But I don’t think that’s the right choice because the Linux ecosystem is a minority and you’re not going to get that to change anytime soon by making it actively harder for people to want to jump in. I think that it needs all the help that it can get currently.
Moving away from a proprietary OS to a (mostly) software freedom respecting OS is good. A shame that video games are proprietary.
So, ironically, part of the reason I sold my Xbox was that streaming from Xbox to windows didn’t even work properly.
I don’t see this as a bad thing for people who want it. Steam doesn’t offer something similar to game pass (I wish they did)
It’s actually a little surprised that something like this hasn’t been done already. Not having Game Pass on Linux was actually the second biggest reason(the first being price) that I canceled my game pass subscription anyway because I used my computer 90% of the time so it didn’t make sense to keep Game Pass Ultimate. But Game Pass for PC didn’t work on Linux, so it was better off just not having it at all.
I’m not really sure what game pass is since it appeared so long after I switched to Linux, but I figure that I’ve lived so long without it that it’s not going to matter now.
A subscription to play games either downloads or streaming
I want to be able to decompile games in real time
