So M$ takes the good will they received for physical games to digital games and does something dumb like this?

I don't know the percentage of Game Pass customers that have it solely for cloud gaming (and I'm curious if, so far, Xbox Cloud Gaming was the best pick in its thing) but my god 15 hours limit for the highest tier is mad wtf. I thought this was daily but no, it's per month too.

So much for me streaming some stuff via my Fire Stick. I'm not paying the current prices for another console. Guess I'm completely out now on the whole Xbox ecosystem.

A 15 hour monthly limit is ridiculous, isn't Xbox Cloud Gaming running on Microsoft's own Azure servers anyway?

Even if it turned out that most people don't reach that limit, surely a vague "reasonable usage" quota would've been a smarter PR move than this.

Feels like this is the Robocop universe with how wild some of this stuff is.

Sony and Microsoft keep racing to the bottom while Lord Gaben does nothing and keeps winning
