That's a very bad business strategy, it should be one or the other, X Cloud or in Console parity. The parity being the weak one. I would like to know the defense arguments for this strategy.

Microsoft is getting a bad rep because they don't want to let the Series S go. They are not handling these problems very well. The Series X should be the "cheap" platform and they should have a "Pro", called Series XS (pronounced excess, you are welcome Microsoft), so they are the platform that people want and not the platform that's holding back games.

I think there are a lot of assumptions but it is still a good read.

They can and had done it before, see the link at the bottom of the article. Basically, game devs are forced to sell the game at the same retail price in all platforms regardless of the commission cut of the platform according to Steam license. BUT as a customer, usually other platforms are more expensive, so mileage may vary. I like Steam a lot and support it whenever I can but if there is evidence of wrongdoing I would change my mind, however, the complaint from the article smells strongly to cashgrab.

From the application itself, you can disable the Deals and Promotions.

I was wondering why I have not seen any ads even though I have this active for the app. So there you go.
