Could be another example of Microsoft disappearing its competition. And even if Microsoft allows the acquired businesses to continue to produce games, they could very well start requiring a Microsoft account to play any new releases. I remember the days when you could buy a game and simply own it. No accounts, no proprietary launchers, no "software as a service" weirdness.

Could def see this happening. I wonder if the games could only be played on a MS device even if they didn't require an account.

"You will own nothing and be happy."
Maybe they'll tie gaming into social credit scores - and if it gets too low, you can't play. Nothing would surprise me at this point.
