After laying off almost 2,000 people, Xbox finds itself in a position at odds with the community-first image it has cultivated for itself.

There was definitely a lot of support for this merger - people see it as ABK's "redemption arc", and there was a lot of excitement around ABK games coming to GamePass / other platforms like Steam because of this.

Ultimately this is how people think: What is in the merger for them? And they don't think macro, but just simple things like "now I can finally get this game on [platform]"
