   I've been burned a number of times by Microsoft, enough to know that   
   there is no good reason to invest in any of their revolutionary products   
   anymore. They're abandoning the Xbox line I invested into, they   
   abandoned Microsoft Films & TV, they abandoned the Windows Phone, they   
   abandoned Microsoft Groove, etc..   
      
   In abandoning all those products though, they determined that Game Pass   
   is a cash cow and that it is more profitable to have your game studios   
   design for all platforms rather than a single one. All the power to them.
