Someone might prefer Xbox-specific features like Quick Resume, the controller, free cloud saves, Play Anywhere, Smart Delivery, the UI, etc. MS also allows dev/pubs to sell keys outside of XBL/MS Store and you can pretty easily earn gift cards via MS Rewards, resulting in cheaper games.

It never does.

Nothing about this needed to be formatted into a slideshow to more effectively communicate the information. 

Stop trying to make “Church of Xbox” a thing

This seems like a whole lot of nothing on Twitter. Slow news day?

And then I moved on to one of the many other big releases that came out at the same time. (just…

Because it’s a single player game and over time people become done with them and move onto other stuff? And it also didn’t review as well as their previous games and less people are into it.
