Guess it might be finally time to replace the bookmark with something else.

Also, very interesting move from Netflix and presumably a trial run at doing this more often?
Some Xbox games are coming to PS5 and Switch
Considering this Xbox news being as non earth shattering as it was, it seems like they really (yet again) fumbled the messaging on this by letting rumors run wild and even stirring them a bit by announcing a “business update” for a week later.
