Microsoft has already lost the console wars, and now it starts to look like they might even lose the PC wars. Is there any future for Microsoft gaming? It feels like the only thing they got going for them is Call of Duty.

Yes, in the "Netflix of Gaming" Game Pass, they've already been pivoting on it more and more. They know they're losing their hardware dominance

Only a matter of time IMO before they work on getting Game Pass games on Linux. Which would be great because I got the bulk of my games from Game Pass these days lol

The only real limitation for Game Pass on Linux is market share. There's no way Microsoft passes up that money if Linux gaming gets big enough.

True. When they start feeling threatened, they will bite as hard as they can.
