Okay, but all companies do that, not everything Nintendo does directly benefits me, their mobile games and even a lot of their Switch games aren't for me, yet I wouldn't say that makes me a second class citizen.

So what differentiates a third party from a first party for you. I assure you, this logic did not exist until Microsoft. Companies knew they had to have their own games to sell their consoles and strengthen their ecosystem.

First parties manufacture hardware. But I wasn't even talking about that, all I meant was that to me "second class citizens" seems to me to imply mistreatment and I just don't see how that's the case for Xbox gamers regarding something like Cuphead or indeed the older Halos coming to Switch.
