Imagine a Gamepass and Netflix bundle... games and movies under on subscription. Could also set up Microsoft nicely to be a metaverse play with a mix of gaming and traditional media.

Although come to think of it, maybe it would make more sense for MSFT to make a bid for Warner Bros. Discovery? Cheaper valuation, and you get DC + Harry Potter properties which would be huge as properties to be leveraged in gaming and the upcoming VR metaverse.

While we're throwing ideas out there - why doesn't Microsoft just take a huge swing to try and buy Disney?

They would instantly cement themselves with onbtaining get one of the world's largest media conglomerates with an extensive library of beloved IP, and they could leverage all of that content in movies, gaming, and the metaverse like you mentioned.
