Microsoft Wants Game Pass on Playstation, Nintendo, and "Every Screen" Possible

Steam on Xbox? Seriously? Do you use Xbox? Do you really think that a secondary app store would be beneficial in any way, considering that Valve would take a cut of profits? Who would list their app for sale on Steam on Xbox when they would make less money? I suppose you think Microsoft could waive their own fee on the Steam on Xbox store, because you think that they're capable of keeping the servers running out of the goodness of their hearts, on wishes and dreams, and not money? I suppose you think that Microsoft is a large company, and that they should be okay with losing money, for your sake, simply because you think they should. Come back to reality.

A lot of people on HN hate Microsoft, and they post really low-thought demands the company ("make everything free or you're evil"), which I guess is fun for them, but gets tiresome after awhile. When I come to HN it's jarring to see the otherwise mostly-intelligent debate devolve into the worst doublethink and schoolyard debate tactics that people can dream up. Sadly it's a self-reinforcing effect because people see these low-thought snipes and demands and think that this is the pinnacle of hiqh-quality debate ("What? I don't have to think? I can just post random anti-Microsoft things and people will congratulate me? Cool!") And if someone doesn't respond to this post with a "Microsoft is evil so its okay that we sacrifice the debate quality on HN to somehow 'get them'" then I'll be shocked.
