  • Amazing to see all four major players in the AAA gaming industry shooting themselves in the feet one way or another:

    • Xbox trying to spread itself thin between consoles and PC, going into studio purchasing sprees that it was unable to maintain long-term and churning them out as we speak
    • Steam getting bitten hard by the AI bubble, making their Steam Machine dead on arrival in price, power, and availability of games (although the latter is partly due to a lack of anti-cheat solutions that can be legally deployed on top of an open-source kernel)
    • And Nintendo pushing for more expensive games than the competition, and deploying Game Cards for physical games as the worst of both worlds
