    …and neither have gamepass and other game streaming services helped grow the industry gaming and propel it into the future.

    This is an encircling manuever by massive corporations attempting to en-spotify the gaming industry and blow the bottom out of independent game developers being able to do anything of note without paying a toll to microsoft or google or some other corporation trying to induce centralization, collapse and catastrophic loss of revenue for the rest of the industry.

    No shade at people who use and love gaming streaming services, the idea isn’t bad, its just the strategic role these services are being used for is to carpet bomb the gaming industry until it is forced to play by whatever terms these massive corporations demand.
