Anything Microsoft has done gaming-wise in the last five years or so has been a total failure. From my narrow perspective, Starfield was a mediocre game. There hasn't been any new "live service" (this genre should be outlawed) successes. If any games happened to be good, they did not sell because of game pass.
At this point I am confused as to what their strategy was. They are terminally averse to making good games. Did they think people could be tricked into paying 5-10 dollars a month when Steam and piracy are right there?
