Bruh they copied the inbuilt steam browser💀.

They acknowledge the whole thing of people looking up things on their phone like maybe guides, but I ask how is their solution any better?

The game is probably already paused if you’re looking at a guide and most everyone always has their phone on hand and are able to quickly look something up. To me this looks like them trying to sell a solution that has already been solved over a decade ago by repackaging it as something brand new.

God yet again microsoft adding shit no one asked for. They keep thinking they know what gamers want, and they just don’t. I’m using steam, I’ll use theirs. Yours just adds bloat. Fine if you want to make it optional, but like all things microsoft you have to dive 18 settings in to find out how to disable it.

seems bad because it’s microsoft

Unless the “game aware” functionality just hijacks Discord Rich Presence functionality, I expect that to be abandoned in a year or two. I also really doubt this has much utility to anyone not gaming on a laptop.

Plus, with everyone having a phone they can search from… I’m really not sure who this is for.

Seems like a waste of development effort.
