      MS is a corporate clients first type of company. They really don’t care about consumers, let alone gamers. A huge chunk of their income comes from corporate licences and cloud services.

      I know at one point they were strong arming developers to only use direct x via contract. I wouldn’t put it past them. They also just got a new head of Xbox/gaming divison which means they at least have a stake in gaming, even if a small one.
