not entirely true:

Actually, it does have a hidden web browser that you can access, but I don’t know if it has the necessary functionality for MS to use it for Game Pass.

I wish FromSoft would try a similar tactic with their games - just with difficulty, not horror elements. Some people would like to experience the worlds they’ve created, without the punishing difficulty.

Well, Google seemed to think that Stadia’s success was destiny. But now Stadia faces its doom.

Teenager does teenager things, gets in trouble.  Somehow newsworthy.

PAUSE. 40-year-old teacher??

Maybe they should fulfill demand everywhere else before starting to ship to another enormous market? Just a thought.

I also bought Shadow of the Tomb Raider shortly before I got Control, as you noted, so that’s two in a row. To make matters worse, I never even downloaded Control as I specifically bought it for the PS5 upgrade, so they don’t have any argument to fall back on at all, they’re just cynically mugging a customer for $20.

Well, it’s an extremely divisive game. And it appears it was meant to be so. Just as you loathe it, I loved it deeply -- it connected with me like no other game had ever. And there are others like me, and others like you.
