Except if Microsoft were the rich lazy spoiled kid, they would be creating new studios, not buying me up. Creating a studio gobbles up way more money, so Microsoft are being sensible in what they're doing.

If both the developer and publisher agrees to the deal, and thinks it's the best way to go for them, than who are us to bash any of them?

Also how is it a bad thing if there are multiple competing storefronts on PC, where apeveryone benefits from the competition? I'm puzzled at people wanting a full steam monopoly.

I don't believe anyone said it would be bad if there are multiple storefronts, just that Microsoft's storefront is awful.

 

Besides, there's also Origin and GOG. You can't pretend Steam is a monopoly if there are other significant storefronts.
