Aside all other legitimate concerns mine is mostly that they'll use the MS store on PC...
Would be missing out on too much revenue, they all come back to Steam every time they try their own stores (which MS did already).
They tried this and found it didn't work.
They tried for like a decade before finally giving up. Microsoft has learned a lot of lessons while trying to work on their gaming arm, and some of them have actually stuck. I would expect titles to be sold on Steam until Phil Spencer retires.
