“Made for Xbox” branding for proprietary accessories approved by Microsoft incoming. Anything else won’t work.

How hypocritical of MS to pull this on their consumers after making it such a big deal that competitors like Apple do this same thing. Pot meet Kettle.

Anyone surprised? MS is one of the shadiest companies out there. Google gathering user data? "Don't get scroogled!" Microsoft account required for windows 11? That's completely different. Gamers in particular just fell for their self-imposed image as the good guys because of Game pass and constantly bashing their competitors.

If I remember correctly, it was them first charging for online services under Xbox Live Gold for functionality that was usually free on PC.

Windows 11 doesn't require a Microsoft account. It's a bit of a bitch to install without it but it does work without issues.

[–] Laser@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

You can easily install it without a working account, that's true, but the installer requires you to enter an account address. Other methods, with certain commands in the shell that are supposed to restart the installer, did not work last time I tried.

Microsoft's intent here is very clear and any discussion about it is rather arguing about semantics.
