    Well… good thing I’ve been buying what I can through GOG… but this is terrible news, especially with the way Microsoft has been shutting down gaming studios recently.

    Edit: meh, this just sounds like clickbait:

    • The leak comes from an unknown and unreliable source in the gaming industry.
    • Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard faced regulatory challenges, making the merger with Valve unlikely.

      Plus they are bleeding money from all the acquisitions and haven’t seen the return they expected in game pass subs. The cost cutting isn’t done and it would be very surprising for them to try to dump more money into new storefronts when they are still trying to make their own business model profitable (to their expectations).

      It’s an AI generated “article”, on a site that exclusively feeds headlines into AI to write “articles”.

      So even if the original headline was - in the now-unknown wording - something rooted in reality, the generative shitcode has now turned both the headline and the content into utter derangement.
