A message about Stadia and our long term streaming strategy

Didnt expect Destiny to be popular on PC at all.It could have been that the decision had something to do with how they viewed the industry before the acquisition and how they viewed the industry after the acquisition. Before Microsoft purchased Zenimax, what was the most significant purchase in the console gaming industry? If they expected purchases to continue to be less than the purchase of Mojang, they were probably fine with that and likely to make their own. The purchase of Zenimax was likely the first clear sign that they were dealing with Microsoft proper and not just Microsoft Game Studios. Phil also made clear that Alphabet, Facebook, and Amazon were the real competition if they really wanted to be...thank goodness that Alphabet didn't.
Trecent bought Supercell for 8.6B in 2016 which was higher than the 8.1B that Microsoft bought ZeniMax for. Adjusted for inflation it was only 9.7B in todays money. Activision bought king for 5.9B in 2015. Microsoft bought Mojang for 2.5b in 2014 .
Most of those have a more mobile slant to them where it is clear that the intention of the purpose is the pursue the mobile market, whereas ZeniMax, most people would surmise the purchase has more to do with PC and Console gaming.
Streaming isn't but I'm positive the likes of Google and Amazon considered it when they started their ventures.
I love definitions that change to suit needs.
Before Google and Amazon started their ventures, how many companies were really streaming games? Nvidia?, Sony? There might have been others that are no longer around, but there are not very many models to follow when they structure their business plans. I thought it was plain to see that they followed the console model when setting up their streaming services. This is especially true in Google's case, as you supposedly "own" the games you are streaming. And they are selling branding console-like controllers with their services. I thought it was clear that they wanted their services to appear like those of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo without having consumers buy comparatively expensive hardware and, at the same time, leverage the cloud resources at their disposal. It is also why Google, Amazon, and Facebook are/were a perceived threat to the traditional console market.
