  1. Xbox admitted it loses money every time someone streams Fortnite, then made that your problem. Ultimate's had unlimited cloud since 2020 — gone in November, capped to 15 hours. Steam Deck owners with no other way to play these games get hit hardest. Real reason isn't server costs, it's a scapegoat for years of bad bets.

  6. Coming across a recent video titled "They're Banning Your Home Server" got me thinking about what big tech's push against user-controlled hardware means for anyone running their own gear.
