Comment on Microsoft Nintendo acquisition hopes revealed by leaked Xbox exec email

  🙄 screaming monopoly in gaming while stream is a thing is an absurd proposition. Game development has an absurdly low barrier to entry and is easily one of the most competitive markets on the planet. Citing a B tier player who is the most open of the console makers as a monopoly when players like Steam, Nintendo, and Sony exist is insane. Gamepass is a fantastic value, MS is a big reason cross play exists, and people lose their shit if a game isn’t available through steam.

  Microsoft is one of the companies innovating TBH and I have no issues getting more games on streaming, console, and my PC for effectively $2.50/month once you convert gold. Easily the best value in gaming I’ve had in 30+ years of gaming.

    “Microsoft is one of the companies innovating”

    “This new Xbox is a windows PC that you can’t upgrade”

    Yeah, great. Innovative. Some real Wozniak shit right there. Get your head out of your ass.

      MS sells a capable device at a price point lower than any PC even close in performance and you bitch about upgrading 🤣

    Competition is what causes innovation, the only reason Microsoft does innovate is because of its competition with companies like Sony and Nintendo. You really think game pass would be here to stay without competition? That shits only a good deal because it has to be.

      So working as intended? No real monopoly to be had?

    Thinking that Microsoft is innovating and Steam (Valve is their name but whatever) is not is some real small 🍆 energy

        You aren't really giving anyone anything to work with. Plus you call everyone copium for...some reason, so we might as well call you out on fanboyism since you actually remember that Microsoft gold exists
