I got the joke right away but for future reference it is always best to use "/s" when making a joke because everyone is a bit autistic when all they have to go on is a somewhat innocuous text-based joke.
In MS' ecosystem yes... But in truth it's been that way in the MS space for over a decade now.
@HyperMoused
Yeah stop giving your money to MS and if you find games you like anywhere else whether that be MS' competition by their stuff if it's better for you. That's how you tell MS and any company, that their way isn't very good.

That's thankfully not an issue in Windows 10 Pro and hopefully it won't be... at the same time I'm not online regularly. I've heard rampant all over Win11. But it can get worse. Imagine not being able to use Windows at all without a constant internet connection no matter what you pay for it. That day might be coming.
That was one of the strangest things when I first got a 360 after the PSN hack. I couldn't understand why my console home screen was trying to sell me Swiffer products and fast food... I was thinking "What the •••• was MS thinking?" And also "This can't possibly be what's on everyone's Xbox homescreen." I was wrong about the second thoght but I still don't know what MS was thinking when they created ad space for 360. They removed it in modern FW though ...
Pretty sure the devs got permission (if that is even a real brand of chewing gum).
It's called the "Microsoft Store" they have physical and digital storefronts selling computers, components and of course software.
You are clearly very very dumb.
If you make an ad that no one remembers and cannot link to any product... how do you sell the product you are advertising?
Just one more car there in that train of logic went missing.
Maybe this guy has a wife... or is a cross-dresser. Whatever the reason if MS is serving you those ads in games they are also SELLING YOUR DATA!
Freedom Wars for PS5 when!?!

Nintendo's output has been worse than Xbox's this gen. Switch blew its load early and had LM3 about three years into the gen only to get a handful of NEW Switch games not ports from older Wii U. Remakes are new releases ports are technically "new", but I won't count them.
The only publisher of the big three with consistent output for the past 5 or 10 years has been PlayStation. Microsoft get's a ton of blowback for it and rightfully so... why not N...
If my fingers were weak I'd probably have to turn it off but... my fingers are too strong to go without resistance. There's next to zero resistance at all on the PS5 triggers without using the adaptive resistance. That's what gives me trouble not triggering secondary fire in R&C.
To trigger secondary fire, you fully depress the shoulder button for most weapons. I find it next to impossible to use primary fire for most weapons in the game, because most requir...
Oh yeah... try playing R&C and correctly not triggering the secondary fire without resistive feedback. Nearly impossible during combat. The triggers lock in two places the first prevents accidental fore the second unlocks the secondary fire mode and each weapon has different characteristics. That's one good example the next is GT7 where breaking is transformed and you can even tell when ABS is or isn't engaged using the gamepad. If for some reason you play with the accelerator and...
Haven't played Calisto Protocol but Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and GT7 are up there with Astro's PlayRoom. For some reason I forgot about the resistive vibration that Astro's PlayRoom showcases until I thought about it when playing R&C:RA again. It didn't occur to me until I tried comparing GT7 and FH5 using their platform ecosystem's respective gamepads either. DualSense is more than a cut above the competition's gamepads.

RT was used on many objects in R&C:RA including on scene geometry. The only things that didn't see RT were some parts of character's wardrobes and interactive water surfaces. For some reason all Interactive water surfaces used SSR instead of RT, not sure why outside of the complex nature of the geometry - and if that's the only reason... I guess it makes sense.
RT is used for SSR it always was.
Wolfenstein (1992) featured RT as well to draw the world itself. Ray casting and ray tracing... are the same thing and while ray casts were used in radically different ways back in the day for Wolfenstein RT as we know it now... is still basically the same thing.
If Wolfenstein 3D didn't use RT it could be played top-down in 2D like Pac-Man. Rasterization still uses RT to figure the depth of geometry (though maybe calculating depth works...
Is there an ad free Xbox dashboard option yet? How about for Win11?
MS is ruining more than just gaming.
