Microsoft doesnt have a bad track record in gaming and doesn’t have greedy approaches. They like to dump money without forcing profits. It is a win for gamers
Microsoft gaming strategy does benefit gamers. Which counteracts the problem of losing a competitor.
Microsoft doesnt care about profits on single products much compared to the grand strategy they follow. For example AoE4 and all the aoe franchise doesnt really give a lot of profit Microsoft would care about, yet they keep investing and updating it bc they like it and like the strategic benefit.
Not caring as strictly about profit means you dont get as many greedy microtransactions and more balanced approaches. The game pass is also a really cheap deal if you play variety

Facebook and Google was always about friends family and local before any random and stranger interaction becomes relevant.
Reddit and Lemmy is all about strangers. Oftentimes you dont even want people to know you or care about that. So userbase is way easier to create without feeling as if it was too small.
Facebook started locally and slowly created circles until the entire world found their friends and families and joined themselves
Ah the classic “this wont work, you see bc USA has shown that and free market always wins”
Meanwhile the rest of the world have several different but similar blueprints showing how it works much much better. But americans must always go a different route and ignore as if nothing else exists.
Plot twist: the Hotel did change them and all colleagues did too. Only OP learnt it wrong and despite knowing it is shitty OP didnt bother to do better himself bc he thought everyone did this
Ah the classic, we fucked up but cant do anything about that. Lets just wait until it solves itself and endure or ignore the complaints and bad rep
