Dude, MS has been dumping and killing the value of games so much, the entire industry is shifting to free to play live service. MS single-handedly ruined the past 10y of the games industry with their push to remove physical ownership and move everything to the cloud so they can double dip with Azure and Xbox. Furthermore they are responsible for the introduction of pay to play online and on Xbox you had to pay to play F2P games online until recently. Sony are greedy cunts but MS is not even on the same level of evil, they are pure distilled cancer and thanks to them the 2nd hand industry for game copies is struggling, everyone went live service because full price game sales went to shit thanks to gamepass (which is still not profitable) and now they have orchestrated a coup to kill Ubi so they can buy it the same way they did with Nokia. FWIW, the whole PSN debacle started with the sanctions on Russia.
Completely agree with you, but MS is doing this for money too, they just think it’s a strategy that works better for them, specially because they are selling least amount of consoles.
