They've been a laughing stock since the Xbox One reveal, they never recovered from that one.
>>724098494It was unrecoverable after gamepass was created, destroying the value any of their brands could potentially have.

>>724098494my 9/11 was seeing the Master Chief collection on Windows, then Steam. It was at that point I knew they gave up. Gamepass only solidified this stance.
>>724098494It actually ended when Microsoft decided to publicly jump on the AI development bandwagon late, slightly after the Activision deal passed and realized they wasted 80B on video game acquisitions when that could have towards the potentially more lucrative AI ventures or the infrastructure needed for AI.The EU clearing the deal was probably sabotage to hurt MS in the AI game because everything the US and Sony said would happen did.Now MS is just being a pimp and putting Xbox out on the streets to earn back the money they spent on Xbox.
It was already over with the first console. No one would give a shit about Xbox if it wasn't for Halo.
>>724098494Bungie leaving was their 1965 immigration act, Kinect was their war on drugs, Xbone reveal was their 9/11. Everything since then has just been for the lulz.
