[QUOTE="Adam-M, post: 507424, member: 4420"] The problem with Microsoft at the minute is that they're trying to push everything to more of a subscription based model and now they're setting up a [URL='https://games.slashdot.org/story/18/06/10/2257232/microsoft-is-working-on-its-own-game-streaming-netflix-like-service']streaming platform[/URL] (along with everyone else). Microsoft have got a taste of monthly subscriptions with O365 and all the Azure stuff they provide, along with the push to get people off older Windows versions by [URL='https://tech.slashdot.org/story/18/06/11/1230232/microsoft-to-stop-offering-support-for-windows-7-windows-81-old-surface-devices-in-forums']limiting support[/URL]. The general consensus is that they want less physical and more subscription and interweb connections are too **** in most places at the moment which is why the PlayStation version only provides PS3 games. Microsoft are hungry for gaming yeah, but they want to host it is all. They're trying to become the new Netflix and its much too early with too much fragmentation between Google, Apple, Sony, Microsoft, Steam and Origin (the latter also pushing streaming now). [/QUOTE]
