I’ve just bought my very first Xbox. It’s Series X, and although I like it well enough, I’ll probably never buy another Microsoft product. My software & my games need to be on my discs, not the cloud. I’m not interested in renting or leasing games with the game pass. I’ve already started amassing a nice collection of used/older Xbox games from various sources, probably have enough to keep me busy for the next decade. So, this mantra of “You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy” isn’t going to work in my case.
I feel the same but I buy shit on Steam all the time. Probably because I can still play my old shit on there and I don't risk having to buy every indie game several times because it isn't compatible with the latest console.
Also, the pricing on console stores are ridiculous..
Also Valve supports Linux gaming and creates quite non-standard products like the Steam Controller, Link, Deck (which is awesome!), HTC Vive, ..
