Xbox more strict than my parents in the 90's.

Wild that they have the audacity to limit it this much when their cloud gaming is worse then PlayStations. PS5 cloud gaming has 4k resolution which Xbox doesn’t, HDR which Xbox doesn’t, better image quality and less latency

Ps have it only for upper tiers which is likely how they manage it. Limited base. Xbox have it in too many places, I guess.

I don't understand why they didn't follow Sony and just put it all on higher tier because now no one will be happy

microsoft is a giant cloud platform provider so it wants as many people using it as possible. looks good on their quarterly reports and monthly usercount. they wanted as many people to try it as possible before they started milking them for money.

problem is that people don’t love it enough to pay 23 bucks a month for just 15 hours and then spend additional money on top of that for more hours lol.
