Well technically since GamePass is not free, you did pay a dime somewhere

While this is technically true, I'm going to be paying for Game Pass anyway as it's far cheaper than buying all the games I was buying, so that's free enough to me.

They are not going to, but have some serious capital to start peeling away at Sony's exclusives if they get they head out of their arse and feel like going for the kill shot.

I think they are doing this. They're just doing it differently. They're buying up studios, but instead of making all of the games console exclusive, they're making them instantly available on Game Pass day of release but still selling them on other consoles. They don't seem to see a need in making all of their studios' games exclusive.

XBox was set to make a really big move if WB hadn't reversed course and decided to keep its games studio. It's clear MS is looking to make a splash in terms of game production.
