Microsoft has apparently eliminated the $1 Xbox Game Pass trial once again, just before the release of Starfield (twitter.com)

Oh neat I have been living under a rock and didn't realize it was owned by Microsoft... so now there will never be a PS5 release. Does that mean all the old Bethesda games will be unavailable om PS5?

It doesn't even look like you can get it on steam deck, this blows.

Yup, XBox GamePass is not available for Steam deck or Linux generally, so I have never used it. I would probably sign up if it was available though.

Well Steam says it will be in their library, I guess just not for Steamdeck? I was on the fence about getting one because I rarely use a non work computer, and won't get a new one just for gaming.

I'm talking about GamePass, not Starfield. Gamepass only works on Microsoft OSes AFAIK, so you won't be able to use it on anything it doesn't control (i.e. macOS or Linux).

That's fun. God I hate proprietary tech

Like it's not enough to lock me into a service by making a good service that I forget how expensive it is, instead they got to strangle you on the device side.

Ikr? That's one reason why I like Netflix. I don't like the DRM, but they at least do a good job ensuring it works pretty much everywhere.
