Moore – who held senior positions at EA, Microsoft, and Sega before leaving gaming altogether to join Liverpool FC in 2017 – reflected on the losses incurred whenever there's a new console generation, suggesting that both "companies and gamers" are asking questions about whether or not players "really need to be spending what could be five, $600 on a bespoke piece of hardware just to play games".

There's an argument for local availability of media, and a valid one. But at the same time, I play more "Xbox" now that I can stream my games to my tablet or phone than ever before. Removing barriers to gaming isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Honestly, if MSFT put out an Xbox Streaming Stick, I'd buy one. Having essentially a second console just ready to go would be amazing.
