All of a sudden, my Xbox background changes to a garish COD MW4 animated abomination. Come to find out this is a new feature. Had to go to settings and turn off event themed backgrounds.

This is why I love the simplistic no-frills design of the Switch 2 main interface.

So, you are happy with Xbox adding features to force advertising through manipulating settings that auto default to on? Replacing your background with another for a game that is already advertised on the main dashboard with multiple ads. For a first party game that was removed from gamepass and not going to be on it until holiday 2027.

This is the direction you have no issues with?

This is the dumbest thread on this board. It takes less than 2 minutes to turn off event backgrounds. Xbox deserves shite for lots of things but this ain't one of them.

Corporations love mindless cheerleaders though. Good luck with that.
