No, they are preventing people who are short sighted from having to suffer a huge Phil Spencer shaped dildo (sorry
adamsapple
) being shoved up their arses in a couple of years if they manage to get control of the industry through predatory and monopolistic practices.
Also, they've already been clear, gamepass is not and can not be a factor. They cannot force Microsoft to make sure it's still available in the future on the same terms that it is today. Pair that with the fact that they have made an admission it is canibalizing their business in other areas and you have a very clear sense of where this is all going.
Do you honestly think they're going to subsidise your gaming addiction forever?
