You guys have been saying the same thing since 2013, Game Pass just became the new ammo for this argument. As mentioned in this very page, compared to other two console manufacturers Microsoft is 6-7 years late to the free to play mobile gaming market. So are they all in "transitioning phase" to abandon their platform because they are "gambling with the mobile market". Somehow, the writing has always been the wall that Microsoft close Xbox, instead they just keep expanding.
Funny that you are trying to find argument for defending ZhugeX's deleted tweet of Microsoft decreasing Xbox first party investment when the reverse happened. There are no receipts to any of these claims you make just more "muh Game Pass" essays.
Yup
Xbox One reveal - "Microsoft will leave console business"
2014 - Mojang acquisition for peanuts (literally)
"Microsoft will leave console business"
2017 - Game Pass
"Microsoft will leave console business"
2018 - all first party games Day One in Game Pass
"Game Pass is not sustainable"
2020 - Microsoft bought Bethesda for 7,5 billion
"Game Pass is not sustainable, but they need to keep Bethesda games multiplatform to earn that money back"
2022 - Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard for 68,7 billion and meanwhile making all Bethesda games exclusives
"This consolidation is pretty worrying. Microsoft can't just throw money around to force their way into gaming"
It's funny, because it seems like some people are flip-flopping between "Xbox has no games" to "Xbox is monopoly" while claiming that they spend 68,7 billion just to leave console business, just because they want to have a presence in mobile which is literally what every big publisher is doing including Sony. Take-Two bough Zynga. EA bought several mobile gaming studios. Sony bought mobile gaming studio, while their Bungie has huge plans for going into smartphone gaming business.
