Meanwhile Amazon about to launch a big cloud gaming service 'Luna' at a very attractive price and offer a cable like service for other publishers to platform on. Imagine if they (Amazon) got serious and brings out the wallets and Google with Stadia. This going to get messy, fast. Microsoft released the kraken indeed.

Plus they already have twitch, AND amazon prime. They have video and gaming covered.  Amazon giving free subscriptions to gaming companies is powerful. Amazon gets half of their money back, the gaming company gets half - and the user gets free games.  Combine that with bits, and ads and the gaming company is making out like a bandit.

That is thousands of times more viable than Stadia.  What is Stadia combines with Twitch/Amazon?

This is true and is kinda scary. I honestly can't see them collaborating as the margins would be too thin.

But yeah one thing you cannot underestimate is Amazons selling power. It makes me wary of the future of video games. This is exactly what publishers have been wanting for decades. Cuts out the used games market and publishers have full control and sustained revenue.
