  • After a while you start to find out phone numbers for higher tier tech support people. Then you can just call and no matter who answers, you tell them you need an ARP reset and you’re taken care of in 2 minutes instead of the hour it would take to convince each level of tech support to escalate it to a higher tier. There’s so much nonsense they have in place to deal with people who aren’t even sure if it’s plugged in. But it can make life hell if you’re an expert and already know what needs to be done, you just need to get in touch with the one person who has the authority to do it.









  • But eventually they lose all credibility and everyone abandons the Xbox platform. It’s really getting to the point where Steam is the only one worth using. And I’ve bought every Xbox at launch, except for the Xbox One. Playstation tends to cater to people who like turn based games, aka interactive slideshows. Xbox has just been stagnating for the past few years, and this was supposed to be the game to finally prove to us once and for all that they can put out a good modern game. Overall the game itself is pretty good and I’m not seeing much bugginess at all. But the way the devs speak about this game, I really expected something they could actually be proud of. They can always improve things with patches, of course. But at this point Starfield is a first party game, so I really expect it to showcase what the Xbox hardware can do. It’s as if Microsoft has nothing to do with the QA process of all of the studios they’ve acquired.
