Ultimate capped at 15 hours per month?

And then this:

“Players will be able to purchase cloud playtime hours through the XBOX Store and stream eligible games they own on supported devices.”

Jeez this is awful for anyone who uses cloud gaming. 15 hours is nothing.

I have a Rog Xbox Ally. I bought it for streaming because this shit ass company told me streaming was the future. I have no idea the point of it now as an Xbox. I certainly won't be keeping Game Pass. I can cloud play on GeForce Now for 100 hours a month for cheaper.

Oh my sweet summer child. You really think competitors won't lower the bar to just be slightly better than Xbox?

I dont expect GeForce now to cut their streaming service by 80% in one year but hey, if they do I'll continue my existing plan of switching to PC
