I was about an hour in before loadshedding hit and fell in love with the game, also the intro is really really good. This is something I would've bought instantly if it didn't come to gamepass on day 1.
edit: Just first impressions btw

I have really bad controller drift on my controller.
Probably played around 150 hours with it, is this normal?
I havent thrown it, probably dropped it off the couch once or twice onto carpet.
Tried to clean it, compressed air etc, no luck

Sadly yes, the new controllers are shyte, well I mean new as in from the One era as well, my old 360 controllers are going on 17 years and still strong like bull.
I've had about 4 controllers drift repaired over the last 2 years, my last one actually wasn't the usual suspect though.

Individual profiles or would it share across all profiles

Bigger question, does it still work for normal or are we done now that Family plan is active?

I believe it's if the deal is approved then the agreement will already be in place. They signed agreements in order to support the deal and get it approved. So Microsoft signing a binding contract to say that if/when the deal is approved then the contract will be legally active.
At the moment it's only the 3 regulatory bodies (EU,CMA/UK and FTC/US that have concerns. Unions and shareholders already approved and a handful of other countries/bodies. Just Sony is still against the deal. But that isn't really a concern as they can't legally block the deal. Only the regulators can or try to at least.
The reason Sony don't want to sign an agreement is because they are hoping the regulators will block. That was the plan from the start. But if the deal gets approved then they will have to come to the table and sign and agreement if they want cod on Playstation. The more companies sign agreements to support the deal the more pressure it puts on Sony. They were even asked to provide legal documentation in court to prove the claims and concerns they have been expressing for the last year are indeed legitimate. So they are in a tough spot.
If one regulator approves then it puts pressure on the other 2 remaining bodies. No one wants to look bad and Microsoft seem to have a strong case to get this thing done. If it will get approved after all I'm not sure. But most of the analysts and people who are close to this predicts it will. Will know soon enough. I don't personally have a issue with it. If you have access to GP via console or pc then cool. More games
