It was never going to work out in favor of consumers.

Also fuck Microsoft. At the very least they should be broken up.

GamePass is killing Microsoft? I don't think so. And Xbox is not a company. The company that own Xbox is Microsoft.

Gates is a pedo, Microsoft is a shitty company and i don't own an Xbox so go ahead and fucking die!

Lmao not defending gates, but he's been minimally involved in MS since I think ~2003 when Ballmer took over.
