Ohhhh scary imaginary future where valve, EA, Ubisoft, Nintendo, Sony, and the thousands of independent devs are forced to only stream in one platform 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Get real. Gaming is absurdly competitive with an absurdly low barrier to entry.

I remember a day when that list was 100x longer. Microsoft is currently in the process of trying to buy Nintendo, they've said so in court documents that have been uncovered.

So you're just fine with corporate conglomeration where Microsoft turns into the publisher for all US games, kind of like Tencent in China...

Microsoft is not in the process of trying to buy Nintendo. Did they discuss it? Yes, obviously, any company would be idiotic to not at least discuss things like opportunities from purchasing competitors, but I read the emails, at no point did they even sound like it was something they were "trying" to do.

As a matter of fact, and this is just conjecture from me, but to me it read it like, somebody not in the gaming space emailed Phil about wouldn't it be great to buy Nintendo and Phil's response to me read like someone who got a suggestion from a boss that's a dumb suggestion, they know it's a dumb suggestion, but they need to be courteous in their response by entertaining the idea.

What day? Please can you give me a time frame where the were significantly more publishers?
