I am going to rant a bit about PC gaming. Last year I decided to get a few more games on Steam for lockdown reasons. First I reactivated my old Steam account and thought that will be it and I will have all my games in this one place etc.
Then I got interested in some games that were Epic store exclusives, I thought ok, just another store but then it somehow escalated. Every new game
needs some extra app from the publisher on top of the store apps. So now I have uplay, rockstar social some cheat buster, ubisoft connect and other shite. And I also made the mistake of buying Hitman 3 in the Epic store instead of Steam like the previous one, so another dance to link accounts.
Today I though I will try this Game Pass thing, not too much money and some interesting games.
Microsoft takes my money, login to xbox app, the first thing I see is Star Wars Squadrons, totally forgot about this game let's try it out. Please install the EA Desktop App and EA Game Services! WTF?
I install it make an account, don't receive the verification number so hit resend, app freaks out "you have tried verifying too many times now wait", manage to login through the website and verify. Go back to Xbox app to restart the installation, EA app pops up, please login, type in my login and password..boom error code 10005. Cue months old forum posts about this problem, all
solutions like killing the app, clearing cache, rebooting don't work. Ok fuck this shit let's try Flight Simulator.
Start 154Gb installation and go to cook something, return, installation is finished, start game...checking for updates...WTF?...installing 168Gb update!! WTF!?!? and the best part is
now it's downloading 212 chunks, so instead of full 100Mbit it downloads at between 20-30.
FUCK THIS SHIT my next game is a crack, mount ISO > install > run game.
