I'm still in the "Microsoft can fuck off and die" camp, so I don't imagine I'll be using this.

Guys even if you hate microslop, this is not a bad thing to have the option for those who do use it. If it gets more people over to Linux I only see that as a good thing.
Wow! I am like... not interested at all. It's microslop, I wouldn't touch it even if it were free.
Microsoft will break things faster than hobby devs can keep up.
Are you saying that they'll intentionally sabotage attempts to play Microsoft store/game pass games outside of their platform due to malice, or that they'll constantly break their own systems through incompetence and vibe coding?
Why bother? They're shuttering most of the developers they bought up
to be honest i dont care about game passes, i prefer to buy my games on gog so i can have them drm free. But this is indeed a cool thing. A lot of people still dualboot for these xbox gamepass things.
I hate Microslop just like anyone else, but the Forza Horizon games currently have me have a dualboot system. (Got them ALL in the xbox store)
Can't wait to give Microsoft ever more money for not owning my games. Profit off of me harder, daddy.
I have but one title in the Microsoft Store library that I'd like to revisit here on Linux sometime before their game servers gets shut down: Sea of Thieves. I don't know what made me think buying a game there was a good idea..
But this Xodus project is giving me hope!
It's bold to host the project on Github though
..
Oh, UWP is not going to be supported.. Probably means I'll never get to play Sea of Thieves again :(
I'd do this if it meant I could finally play Halo 5, but I'd likely unsubscribe immediately after. And I've been eyeing Phantom Dust on the Windows Store for a while.
Game Pass doesn't feel worth installing/dual-booting Windows over, so I appreciate that this project exists. In a roundabout way, I think this could lessen folks' dependence on Microsoft in the long run.
Too little, way too late.
