I thought it was, you know, game developers and publishers? How many games are actually published by Microsoft, outside of Halo, Minecraft, Age of Empires, and Gears of War?

These are the ones I am talking about. Halo, GoW and Minecraft have been GAASified. We have to see about Forza 7.

Meanwhile, 1st party games like Horizon Zero Dawn from Sony or Mario vs Rabbids from Nintendo are free of such.

In 3rd party games, all bets are off of course (see Destiny 2 for a good example)
