It’s secretly benefiting the smaller game studios because Microsoft is basically giving up marketshare. The real question is whether MS wants to buy any more studios.
Benefits how? I feel like gaming is going to become like the startup sector where companies create something to specifically get acquired by a big company.
Like it’s becoming so prevalent for these big gaming publishers to vacuum up IP and sit on it, it’s just the Disney-fication of gaming.

With all the money they’ll save from shutting down all the smaller studios they can just go out and buy more.
