Jag, I agree with a few of your points, other not so much.

“They’re responsible for industry consolidation, lack of innovation, and the mass watering down and monetization of games.”

That is nonsense, super high and still rising cost of game development is the root cause of industry consolidation, it happened in almost every industry,.

“The industry is in the precipice of changing forever thanks to the morons at microsoft”

Another falsely, above, you said Nintendo and Sony are both making more financially than MS in the gaming sector every time, why would they have to change their proven financially viable business because of MS, lower earning model? Sony themselves said they won’t adopt MS day and date games on GP, Nintendo is not even considering adopting this model.

The market, and a new generation of connected devices, the Internet, the way people communicate, enjoy games, and services like Netflix Hulu, Disney+ has changed because the landscape has changed…just look at the consolidation of Streaming services, you can get HBO Max, Hulu, and Disney for $16.99 per month.

Landscapes change is not a new thing, MS was just quick to adopt because they could not win in the standard lane, Sony is now realizing one box won’t bring in enough money to cover the cost of their business, that is why you see them on PC, and now a game on the Switch….things change and you can’t lay it at the feet of any one entity.
