Wonder if the deal fails because the FTC blocks it Phil Spencer will step down........ now that the economy is slowing down and so many tech companies are firing workers left and right does MS really want to spend 60 billion on games? MS did fire 1000 people a few weeks ago

Games are still huge but the Ecosystem is changing. MS wants to have an environment where subscription is the key. That does throw Shade on Development but if they own all the production houses we would have no choice. Why does that matter? You find interesting things when you change your OS. When I did mine I still had to re-download my Games as I was a new user to the environment (with the same email) but I could enjoy the hook, $1 a month, I could see the file that contained my Game on my PC with no access (even at Administrator level) but after that it is $13.99 a month but so is Legacy Humble Choice., When they fix that bug it could be ugly. The Games that Epic released for free during this Xmas period were insane and the Genius of Fortnite starting as a 3D Minecraft is quite profound. It is unfortunate but Humble needs to be promoted to more to PC Gamers so that they can fully appreciate the recreation of the Arcade environment. I don't need to buy another Game but I am still going to get SpaceMarine2. I would rather have the choice of owning the Game outright than the right for the server to load the data on my PC and connect me through One Drive variables to have a key to Play and access the server with my Saved Games files. Gaming though is at a point where there are so many Games in every Genre that I can spend minutes looking at the tiles of my Games in GOG Galaxy. All we need is a $200 GPU that is performance of a 6700XT, 3070.
