Its got to be deliberate. They’ve had so many chances and fucked it, and they’ve had so many successes that they’ve just cancelled or discontinued for seemingly no reason.

It is, they want to do what every gaming company wants to do, have a huge and popular streaming platform with games hosted on their servers so that people don’t own games or hardware, they just pay an ever-increasing monthly subscription fee. (plus many, many extra surcharges, in-game upgrades and cosmetics and virtual collectables, etc.)
“You will own nothing and be happy” is going to be the motto of every electronic media company for the next several decades. Hope you didn’t like peer-to-peer gaming and having good ping in competitive gaming.
