You gotta think like a gamer. Microsoft will make Call of Duty free on gamepass. Meanwhile, Nintendo graphics suck and they hate mods. and Sony is too greedy in buying exclusives and keeping them off PC. MS wins by default with this mindset. Their backwards compatibility and PC support is indeed the best out of the 3, but that only helps out PC players (who seem to dominate a lot of this discussion).

Seeing the reactions on Reddit or Twitter really show how either young or ignorant the average video game commenter is on how the industry works. just instant gratification at any cost, and if it's denied it's war. Just look at how ballistic they went for needing an extra account for Helldivers, then read up on the news for these layoffs for a game they loved and see the slight murmur in comparison.

HN has some of that too, but there's at least some professionals here that will sympathize with the developers.
