Technology@lemmy.world•Xbox wants you to pay 24 to 40 cents per hour to stream games you already bought: Time-based a la carte charges come on top of the purchase price for the games themselves.English
24·14 days agoI’m not arguing that Microsoft is some saint or that they’ve done nothing wrong. This just seems like a dumb reason to get mad at them. If you buy a digital game from Microsoft and have an internet connection solid enough to stream the game, you likely have the bandwidth to download the game.
You can still buy Xbox games on disc (I sometimes buy discount games used that I missed the first time around). And I read recently that signs are pointing to the next Xbox also having a disc drive for games.
I’m with you on private/rented servers for sure. I still remember all the hoopla about support for dedicated/private servers vanishing the first time around.

3·20 days agoI wasn’t seeing on android, checked for update, sure ebough there was an update available, updated, and now it’s there.


I honestly wasn’t aware of other platforms that stream games for free. A quick web search tells me that Sony offers cloud streaming as part of Playstation Plus Premium, Steam lets you stream from your PC to other devices. I couldn’t findany other cloud game streaming services that don’t require a charge or subscription; would you point me in the right direction please?
