The year is 2036, and you finish a long day at the Amazon Gulag HQ where you spent 16 hours packing boxes. You punch out with your timecard, and glance at your weekly earnings after 96 hours of work, which totals $27.83 after the 80% tax imposed by President Baron Trump on all non millionaires and below. You get inside the Tesla Tube and it and catapults you to your house in under 30 seconds. During those 30 seconds you contemplate how it all came to this, but quickly forget as you pass by an ad for the new Halo game, which you are super excited to play. You turn on your console, and start the multiplayer. You can't get any headshots and die right away. You are exhausted from work, and have no energy left. You throw the controller at the wall but it quickly comes back to you as everything around you is a hologram. Your Roomba tells you "why don't you fuel up with some gamer fuel?" Thats when you go to the fridge and chug a can of Mountain Dew and chomp on some Doritos.

You are jacked in now. You hop back in, and right away get a 360 no scope one shot on Dr. Disrespect't A.I consciousness that was uploaded to the cloud. You are now unstoppable. Suddenly your console turns off, and you fall to the ground. Your holographic home and everything you "own" disappear, as you have reached your daily allotment of fun. Your Roomba reminds you that its time for your night shift as a customer service call support agent. You lay on the barren asphalt, and start accepting calls.

It might sound horrible, as you are eternally trapped in a capitalist hellscape with no end in sight, but then you remember, that for that one moment when you got that kill while the Mountain Dew and Doritos were giving you terrible bowel movements and heartburn....................................you were a king.

This place is crazy. Microsoft buys one publisher and all of the sudden the world is going to end.

You know what screw it. Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Apple and Disney should just buy everything and then have a death battle between CEO's to decide who takes it all. Let's goooooo!

Now this is my type of Era posting!


Reading through the Bethesda acquisition thread about "the future of software" I've seen many people claiming arrogant Xbox has emerged. While I understand the intent of this is to claim "Xbox is making moves that I think are wrong and do not agree with" using the word arrogance is the opposite of what Xbox is doing.

Arrogance is usually born out of complacency. The idea that one doesn't need to do anything for a result. Arrogance is ultimately what screwed Sony over transitioning into the PS3 and what screwed Microsoft over transitioning into the Xbox One.

However, Xbox wants to avoid looking complacent anymore, whether due to the cyclical nature of the victor of the previous gen becoming the loser of the next or what have you.


So with the rumors of more money hatting huge publishers in the future, this is not arrogant Xbox.

This is "Violent Xbox"

As Jim Ryan tells you how they want to promote generations, make sure all Playstation first party titles use new features from the dualsense and SSD, Phil Spencer brandishes a knife and states "Peace was never an option"

As you see Xbox's slogan of "Power Your Dreams" and you ask "what about the PS5 player's dreams" Phil Spencer stares down upon you and whispers "pathetic"

I am just in awe of how aggressive Xbox is being, but this is not "arrogance". This is violence.
