Seems like that is Microsoft'S new strategy, pivot to PC where their storefront is just one of several options for buying games. Their super premium console they are teasing is probably just a Windows computer. Unclear what will happen with older Xbox purchases/if back compatibility will continue to be a concern. Might end up being the sacrificial lamb to our open future.

I'm really hoping all my existing purchases can be played via PC one day. If "everything" is indeed becoming an xbox, then I'm hoping this becomes a reality. I'm disappointed they're moving away from their traditional consoles, though. It feels like the end of something special.
