Hard to say, Steam and Microsoft have a positive relationship, so it possible Microsoft may bring gamepass, it may be possible that just be limited to Microsoft titles only that on Steam, but who knows what Microsoft may do, and how they setup their pass on Steam if it even happens.

Hey, that one looks like a cool guy !

And i think yes, microsoft sells xbox game pass at profit i believe, but it's not that that big of a profit, but it's main objective like many other platforms such as netflix and amazon, is to create an empire of streaming games or a subscription method that would be so good that it's hard to say no to it, pretty much like it was netflix in the past when it hardly had any competitors i believe.
I think it's only about time since they will add it also there.

Valve by having gamepass on pc only make the steam deck even more consumer-friendly,you can get a steamdeck, subscribe on gamepass and play games from steam with all steam benefits like steam cloud saves,also with this move while steam deck grows in popularity also linux will grow so it's a win for steam definitely.

The only reason microsoft may not want to put gamepass on steam is for don't pay a cut price, but idk about that they maybe can find an agreement good for both, or to be more of a competitor to linux, but if the steam deck will be as popular as it appears, going in the wave of its popularity to increase your subscription method seems like the best idea anyway.

Microsoft does seem to be moving to a more service-oriented business model. The days of dominating the market with their Windows OS and Office suite of software are going away. They already offer the Edge browser on Linux, and Office and Outlook are basically all entirely web-based now. Someone can be running Linux exclusively but still be utilizing the full compliment of Microsoft products.

Valve currently dominates PC gaming, and Microsoft understands this, even though they do offer their own alternative. Valve is also pushing PC gaming into Linux in a big, big way. I think Microsoft would rather work with Valve than against them, as evident by happily offering Microsoft games on the Steam platform. If Microsoft wants to sell services, might as well expand those services into everything, and Steam already has a massive platform and user-base.

All of this.

Also, Phil Spencer and Gabe just seem to get along WAY better than Gabe did with the last guy. There's totally been a bit of bridge building since the "Win 8 incident".

Why game pass is trash! please keep it away from steam! pay money and get games most have already played or some indie games nobody cares about at random. Rather go into a rental store (from back in the day) and pick what i want not be forced to play some trash i payed for lol.
