Already have. Fallout 4's mod store has so much mod "dlc" microtransactions on it that when you add it all up, it's several times the cost of the base game and all of its dlc combined.

Agree, but the Microsoft spokespeople have said that they've made sure to get Bethesda to spend more time just on debugging (part of the reason for the delay last year) to make sure it's less buggy on launch. In fact I think they said that it'll be the least buggy Bethesda launch in recent history.
Which I take to mean that it'll still be buggy, but not so much that it'll be totally unplayable, with faces not showing up and "dragons" (spaceships?) flying backwards and all that. Hopefully very few crashes.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted, I think most people agree. I think even Bethesda's admitted that most people don't even finish their games or even the main quest. "Open World" games with tons of recycled content that are a mile wide and an inch deep aren't great, and are generally mediocre at best. Plus, the Bethesda habit of sticking clutter and containers everywhere that you have to search through and selectively pick loot out of one by one waste a crapton of time and is why carryweight limit 1000 lbs (or using the console to do the same) is so popular.
Quality > Quantity. The best thing that Bethesda does with its games is to make them moddable so their userbase can make their games much better, or make fan content that is as good or better than the base game.
Still have some of those lying around, along with some third party ones. Even remember using a PS2 to PS3 memory card adapter to get my saves off of them. Still have to finish the original .hack series, I even still have all 4 physical boxes in my room. I ripped the DVD's to my hard drive too, to use them with PCSX2 because upscaling PS2 games to HD is just a godsend. Like night and day.
Honestly, one of the reasons to get a physical copy is to save time on the download. Not everyone has blazing fast or reliable internet where they live. Just having to download a patch as opposed to the entire 80+ GB game can be a big deal to some. I know it was like that for me back when the only thing available in a past residence was DSL. No cable or Fiber, just DSL.
On General or on the Federated Servers "Hot" section? If you mute the Redditmigration and other Reddit themed communities and magazines, it gets rid of most of the discussion about it.
I don't know if you can filter by keywords yet (particularly for titles) but if that's implemented somewhere, that might work too.
I'm not tired of discussions about Reddit, but I can totally understand why others would be, as I'm generally pretty sensitive to repetition and like to control what I see. Too much of one thing generally sets me off too.
Honestly, the only "lore" videos you need to know are from this guy:

Key points:
- The "Spess Mehrens" are the good guys.
- Leader of the Imperium of Man (basically the 40k Federation) is the "Emprah"
- The most superior tactic for engaging foes is a maneuver that the Codex Astartes (like the Art of War for 40k) names "Stiehl Rehn"
- No other factions besides the Spess Mahreens matter and you should never buy them.
- The best thing to do is to be "The Emprah's Fureh" and smite all his foes otherwise you'll die in shame having "Fehled the Emprah"
Oh yeah, and machines have souls and they do much better when you praise and worship them and anoint them with holy oils, so make sure to do that if you ever get isekai'd into the 40k universe for the like 45 seconds you'll probably be able to stay alive for.
This is why I use Firefox. I honestly don't think that a browser engine monopoly is good for the world. Single point of failure for everyone with no alternatives is very bad if something nasty happens.
I think the creators of WINE said something similar about one of their reasons for creating WINE. Wish more browsers would use Gecko.
Damn those Italians, this is just like the leaning tower of Pisa! Why can't they build anything straight?! I'm tired of Italians and their gay buildings!

Probably. And PC Game Pass honestly has fewer games than console game Pass. I used to use Game Pass Ultimate on my Xbox One and my PC Simultaneously and noticed the discrepancy. Also, certain games worked perfectly on console (like Injustice 2) while they had huge problems on the PC version.
PC Game pass doesn't just have a smaller catalog, it also has more jank, bugs, and crashes / games not starting. Still feels like beta a lot of the time.
Yep. Even as someone who frequently subscribed to Game Pass, I mostly used it as a "Try before you buy" demo service more than anything else. I calculated the cost of subscribing every month vs. just buying a game outright and taking the time to finish it (however many weeks or months that would take) and just buying the game during a sale turned out to be cheaper.
It's great for discovery, but not a great deal if you pay every month just to play 1 or 2 games. Particularly if those games take a long time to finish, like Persona 5 Royal. The less time you have, the worse of a deal Game Pass is. That said, I still think it's good to sub for a month just to try a bunch of games if you're thinking of buying a new one.
Not exactly a bad idea if you want to address concerns about certain game franchises being put on the backburner or perhaps game design decisions that keep being made no matter how bad they are.
