What I realised long ago was that Microsoft do not want studios, the donn't actually want 1st parties at all. They want to attract people to their console and then try to keep them there paying subs and getting royalties.

That is why the core titles for xbox are only Halo, Gears and Forza. The rest are disposable for them and would not be made if they didn't need to. Microsoft were always very cynical in terms of business ethics.
They have very little stake in game development and are not here "for the gamers", they are here for the money. Nothing more.

I dont want to offend anyone, this is simply my honest opinion on them as a past customer (gen 7).

Microsoft is a business. Yes, they are in it for the money. Just like Sony and Nintendo. It's hilarious how quickly people forget what Sony tried with the PS3, lol.

The funniest part about the post is the part about subs and core games, as if the other two companies don't do the same thing.

Are you really trying to convince people that Nintendo and MS go about the video games business in the same way?  You can't seriously beleive that.

Just in case for some bonkers reason that is what you really think.  I'll go back to my old saying:

Sony want to make money by selling art, Nintendo want to make money by selling fun, Microsoft want to make money.

I am saying someone who isn't into Nintendo games could just as easily make a list as negative towards their studios.

Same with Sony. I don't care for Infamous or baseball. Thanks for Driveclub in the first two years I guess?

Last part of your post is hilarious. All three companies want to make money. That is the bottom line for them.

It's just not that simple.  I could say Super Time Force was made only for profit, in just the same way as the latest COD game.  Both are just souless profit machines.  But ths is simply not true.
