That’s what happens when they raise the API price so much.
Still it’s annoying because Twitter was the fastest way to get a screenshot off Switch.

Good. Fuck Elon Musk.

Hoping for Bluesky to be the future.

This is likely solely due to the API price hike. All three console makers still use Twitter to post news and advertise, so it’s not as if the changes to the platform have caused them to leave outright.

Good. Get fucked, Elon.

It’s a goddamn miracle that Twitter still exists with so many bad decisions.

It took me a while to realize they were referring to “Twitter” with “X”. I’ll never get used to the name change lmao.
Edit: forgot the word “were”

Musk can get fucked

I thought this was about Mega Man at first because I forgot that morom threw away years of branding and changed the name to X.
oxyborb
good.

At first I was like “what’s X”, and then remembered it was Twitter.
Folks, it’s still fucking “Twitter” to everyone but the Muskrat.

You love to see it.

Considering Twitter is now a porn site, this is not a massive surprise.
Good. Elon is toxic. Now stop posting on X all together!
EuroFederalist
X also announced they’ll officially allow adult entertaintment on the site so this isn’t an surprise.

… oh you mean Twitter

Elon Musk singlehandedly destroying one of the coolest & most important parts of the current console generation

Sucks. I honestly used the feature ALL the time. It was the only way for me to post screenshots/clips of funny things that happened to me in games on Switch and PS5. Oh well.

Remember Xbox? Now it’s just Bo.

Awesome. Connecting systems to the internet was a mistake

Doesn’t bother me at all to be honest.

Why would I want to use Twitter/X on my game console anyway?

Yes, because Twitter (as we know it) is going to die. The business is going bankrupt. It’s now worth less than the $13bn loan it took out to buy itself on Musk’s behalf.
That’s how leveraged buyouts work. That’s what happened to every business that went under after it was “saddled with debt”, eg Toys R Us.

As they should. Everyone and everything should drop twitter and leave it to the Musk fanboys to circlejerk
Meh. I doubt many used it, hence them dropping functionality for it.
But few will say it.
BeGoodtoOthersPlease
Everything Elon touches dies. Loser.

Noooooooooo!!!
But anyway…
faulty_note
Lol. I thought we are talking here about cross-play with that title. Man, Elon and his ideas. 42000 a month? Even if we are talking about settlements between corporations. Access to API which basically just helps uploading screenshot directly. That’s nuts.

Why would anyone want to use twitter on their console lmao

ELI5 why is x/twitter/xitter so important to gaming integration cross console? Is it needed for cross compatibility? Seems unnecessary.

So the X Box Series X can’t use X now. Imagine how disappointed you’d be if you were a huge X fan and assumed an X box series X obviously is some kind of fancy computer made just for posting to X. I mean either the X box implies it’s made to use X with, or series X means it’s the version made for using X with. I hope they have some pictures of games on the box.
It’s very confusing, as if the X box naming convention wasn’t confusing enough already.

Dunno what “X” is. But I know that Twitter just raised their API prices. All I have to say is “good riddance”.

The last thing for me what Musk is doing over Apple’s latest WWDC, discrediting the company due to his own personal matter with openAI and promoting his own Grok bullshit…
If it would be only Musk, okay then right. But I’ve noticed that there are a lot of weird accounts that are posting the same misleading information with him at once, that are not banned, and seemingly not planning to be.

At this point I think Elon would have to replace every other post with 2 Girls, 1 Cup to make X kess appealing to users than he has already.
Enjoy your alt right neo nazi messaging platform with drop shipment scams Elon.

And nothing of value was lost
I initially read this as consoles abandoning [X11](https://x.org) integration and was momentarily pleased at [Wayland](https://wayland.freedesktop.org/docs/html/ch01.html)’s implicit progress towards widespread adoption.
