I don't think anyone ever will, not unless they do what Valve has been doing for years on end to get to where they are. I honestly don't believe MS will ever dominate PC gaming as a whole while taking away options that Valve and others have given out for years, one of them is modding and MS definitely doesn't have that in their plans or future at all and it's one of the reasons why they won't be completely dominant.
For them to egt to a respectable point, they will have to allow for mod support, stop treating all games like mere apps that are locked away, go with Steam like sales and have them throughout the year like Steam and GoG do, don't price gouge on day 1 for late or butchered console ports. All of those listed aren't really the options MS wants going for them, they'd rather have it all done easy as pie with hardly any questions asked while also asking for people to have less on their plate than what they get with other stores and clients. Also making sure any game works on a brand new OS is an absolute must for MS to get on with and they aren'tr eally doing a great job on in that dept either.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
