Microsoft has already lost the console wars, and now it starts to look like they might even lose the PC wars. Is there any future for Microsoft gaming? It feels like the only thing they got going for them is Call of Duty.

Yes, in the "Netflix of Gaming" Game Pass, they've already been pivoting on it more and more. They know they're losing their hardware dominance

Only a matter of time IMO before they work on getting Game Pass games on Linux. Which would be great because I got the bulk of my games from Game Pass these days lol

The only real limitation for Game Pass on Linux is market share. There's no way Microsoft passes up that money if Linux gaming gets big enough.

SteamOS will let you pay games from GOG, right?

Yes you just have to sideload the client. I believe Lutris makes it easy but I don't use GOG myself.

I hope the installer will be so easy that even non-gamers with little to no technical knowledge will be able to download it, double-click, and follow the wizard then end up with SteamOS installed. That would be the dream.

Bazzite is exactly that. Dead easy.

They probably give it the side eye every time it comes up
