Looks like top management has completely given up on gaming following the disastrous acquisitions of Activision and Zenimax.

They've killed their first party studios, their hardware and now their last remaining thing which was the game pass.

This is the main reason Valve invested so heavily in Proton (it was an act of self-preservation, not of kindness). They could smell that coming from miles away the moment Microsoft integrated their own app store into Windows.
