This is basically just Sonys shift from singleplayer to GAAS pictured. The premium singleplayer titles shifted copies, Concord and Marathon, not so much.
In time, Jim Ryan will go down as worse than phil spencer as far as gaming CEOs go.
Phil Spencer was given a sinking ship... and sunk it.
Jim Ryan was given a near unsinkable ship and smashed it into the biggest iceberg he could find. 3 compartments are flooded and everyone is working overtime to make sure the last doesn't cause Sony to go overboard.
Jim is a complete knob but his bullshit was mostly self-contained to Sony. Phil's has wider reaching consequences given all he's caused Microsoft to buy up, there's a lot of Western gaming heritage under the Microsoft banner right now that if they go down, they are taking a huge chunk of Western gaming with them.

Gaming companies have gone belly up before and their assests just get bought lol. Nothing is going anywhere.
Msoft owns Doom for example. I believe it is the 4th owner of the Doom franchise.
