This is the idea with gamepass. I imagine they will sell the next console at a loss to hook people with a gamepass subscription. A future xbox could be a tiny internet connected box that just streams and handles the peripherals.

Yeah if consoles just start streaming only I will going to PC game streaming is great and all until it doesn’t work then it’s useless.

plus you can stream games from your pc while actually owning them

Except for games purchased via Steam, Epic, etc which you also do not “own”.

you own every game you pirate and properly crack though.

and most steam games can be easily used without steam with a steam emulator.

That depends. Steam games do not automatically come with DRM/need Steam to launch. So long as you keep a copy of the game files around, you own those games. That's not true for all titles of course.
