Going to shut this thing off for the next five days. Got some projects to occupy my mind with, including this one where I need to clear some achievements and then finally delete games off my hard drive. Might just keep deleting, who knows. Anyway, back next Tuesday.

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200. The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money. Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

The thing is, selling games isn't (or at least shouldn't be) Xbox's main business. Not even selling hardware is. It's selling OTHER PEOPLE'S games that makes money. Microsoft is taking 30% off of ANY game sold on Xbox. And then there's subscriptions. Game Pass is good, Gold/GP Core is better. (1/2)
