This isn’t new. I heard them say years ago “yeah Sony won the console war but that doesn’t matter” implying cloud gaming

That makes sense. Microsoft didn’t enter the console market for gamers or gaming- they entered it to beat sony. The PS2 had a linux distro you could load on it to try to sell it as a computer to circumvent luxury import taxes. If it WAS a computer, it would compete with Microsoft Windows. They were worried that a console could just sell software instead of games and be a competitor, so they threw a ton of money trying to run Sony out of business.
Microsoft never really wanted to win gaming. The war was against an enemy that wasn’t really a threat. So not killing off a console wasn’t really a “loss”.

Is this the real reason everybody is trying to sue valve these days?

There are legitimate reasons to dislike the monopoly behaviors that Valve employs.

While true, you don’t see anyone else at all even trying to be better than Steam, unfortunately. :/
