You overestimate how much Microsoft would care about people with bad internet. They'll opt for smaller numbers paying a subscription per month/year on cheap hardware. No point in losing money against Sony directly.

Microsofts cloud gaming is already profitable. Also, they got their ass kicked so badly against the ps5 that there's no profitable avenue in developing and trying to sell a future console. They're better off concentrating on pc games and cloud gaming. Sony can't really compete against them in that market, just like microsoft is unlikely to make it worth while to compete against Sony in a console.
I can get ps5 graphics with a $280 video card, games are often way cheaper, I can hook the pc up to my TV, and still play with a ps5 or Xbox controller, or mouse and keyboard.
I suspect next gen there will be a ps6 and Xbox will make a cheap cloud gaming box and just go subscription only.
Which is why there's lawsuits against valve for being a monopoly. They have one, simply because they're the best and most well organized.
Sweet that it's all of android now. I've had it on my note 20 ultra for the past 5 years.
It's about consumers by making sure there's competition.
The hosting part is like the smallest portion of what valve does.
No it doesn't. Do you think GOG and Epic Games want Steam to undercut their rates because they can annihilate them in volume? Steam may not answer back at epics first million $ rate cut because Steam kind of needs them as competition.
Steams competitors are mostly GOG and Epic Games...
Skyblivion would be my only reason to buy 76.
What they had been charging was about what other stores have been charging. Do you think a company that was by far in the lead over other stores dropping their prices further wouldn't increase their user base even further, making it even harder for competition? They already have active legal cases against them for monopolizing.
You can tell an Italian by them m9ving their hands all over the place while they speak italian.
