Microsoft is looking to butt in on the pc gaming market with their new Xbox project I wonder if it has something to do with that.
Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own

There have been so many lawsuits against Valve recently from so many different angles. I’m not usually one for conspiracy but I wouldn’t be shocked if this is a coordinated campaign to unseat Valve from their monopoly on the PC gaming market so that other games industry corporations can move in. They’ve been trying and failing to break into this market for years because Valve has built so much consumer loyalty.

Microsoft had a game store for a long time and they utterly failed to do anything meaningful with it. I can’t imagine this new attempt is going to be any different.

I’d be surprised if it wasn’t microsoft angry at valve for pivoting to linux. Gaming is the last major stronghold for home computing dominated by microsoft, it’s all been replaced by platform agnostic web apps and mobile devices for 90% of non-gaming use cases

If it isn’t publicly traded, they can’t take over it, enshitify it, and squeeze it until it’s useless. So of course they hate it.
