I am not saying this is incorrect, but GP revenue is $2-$4 billion annually.

Cloud hardware costs are subsidized by the Azure Business division really. All the data center infrastructure is already a sunk cost essentially and they are finding another profit path, that is why Game Pass is a thing.

Basically the largest egress of cash is too game publishers, and they got billions a year to spread.
