    I had to use a Microsoft account because I really wanted Xbox GamePass on my PC so I can play PC games. It required it on the OS level.

    I wish I could say it’s not that bad. But it really sucks!

    Things like having to restart, or apps/games not working because it couldn’t talk to Microsoft servers.

    I let my subscription lapse a year ago when I bought a Steam Deck. And honestly hoping Proton gets even more coverage.
