@darth if this deal ends up benefiting SteamDeck and GFN by having Microsoft games there it could be a good thing for gamers.

I'm not sure if it just means COD, several games, or Game Pass in general. But if Game Pass becomes available on Steam Deck and GFN then it could signal the end of the Xbox longer term and Microsoft putting their full weight behind Game Pass instead. Not too bad a thing maybe... Sure the Xbox is a box that plays games, and it is fine, but does it bring anything really unique to the world other than Game Pass? Probably not. It could be easily argued that we don't need Xbox.
