Right now?
No, I don't think so.

But Windows is getting worse, and GamePass won't be cheap forever.
Same with them putting the games on Steam, it can change on a whim.
I mean, even on PC, nothing stops them from walking back and just making everything Xbox exclusive in the future again.

They can make changes that make it impossible (or extremely hard) for their games to work on Linux using Proton.

There are many ways they can use these company mergers to fuck the consumer in the future.

Consolidation is always a bad thing, in my opinion, because it takes away choice from the consumer and puts it in the hands of trillion-dollar companies whose sole objective is to make ALL the money all the time, forever.
