Only by hitting them in their wallets does this stop. Even tolerating it and it gets worse.
We’re stuck with this kind of behaviour though. What am I going to do? Throw out my Xbox because I don’t like what they’re doing? Maybe this will make people choose a different console next generation, but that’s barely sending a message if there’s only a couple of viable options.
Reject consoles, return to PC gaming. As consoles get more and more expensive, with less to offer, it makes less and less sense to continue supporting consoles.
It's pretty bad on PC as well, with more and more games requiring kernel level anticheat software. I wish I had something positive to say. Just lots of bad news coming out in gaming it seems.
