Yes, I'm actually expecting something like that. They are not giving up xCloud for the Xbox which ALSO still let them go for those sticks/TV app etc... So really not a big deal in the end. |
I forgot to mention, but of course, this should be limited to existing popular ABK IPs and will probably not impact new Ips and the revival of long-dead ones.
The issue though is, how would the buying entity make a profit out of it, considering I don't think this would grant them the right to sell the title or sell the right for the title to be included in a content library subs. The only thing the buyer would get is the right to determine who's able to stream the title in a BYOG format. With the EU remedy, MS was going to offer those rights for free to any cloud provider.
If my logic is sound, and I think there's a high probability it is not (lol I'm tired) that means either :
a) The buyer will handle those in Not-for-profit organizations style which MS will need to cover for expenditures of handling those, which would be the equivalent of ring-fencing the thing I think.
b)The buyer would actually try to sell back those rights to BYOG services, which would only make things worse for those in UK compared to the free-of-charge offering from MS.
