I don't think they care, they've given up trying to please that section of the community now, they're now all in on the money making, they don't care about upsetting Xbox online users or Xbox console users because they're a minority to their ultimate goals and they will likely succeed in becoming the biggest third party publisher in the industry but it's going to come at the cost of them being looked at like the next EA...But again, sadly, they won't care about their reputation as long as they are making money.

That’s true, maybe. But again, they might fail even at their ultimate goals. Because to become this huge publisher, you need to have the audience for your games. A lot of people in Xbox community are pissed off now. Selling games on PS5 and Switch might not solve the problem because you might be competing with Sony and Nintendo games there. Like, for example, HiFi Rush was released on PS5 at the same time as Rise of the Ronin did. What could have possibly gone wrong that we saw HFR discounted from 30 to 20 in just one month?

At the end of the day you give gamers way to much credit.  All they really care about is playing the games they like and pretty much not much else.  All the bad talk about ABK from fans and gamers never stopped COD from selling boat loads.  Meaning that online small minority is just not worth caring about.  None of those gamers are going to care if the next COD is a hit, Fallout, Doom, Eldar Scrolls you name it.  Gamers have short memories and even shorter attention spans but most importantly is that the majority of gamers really do not care about none of this stuff.
