These deals are for Microsoft to help make the case that if it acquires Activision-Blizzard MORE people will have access to its games. However if we’re honest, some of these cloud services do not have a large playerbase and, considering Google with all its resources and expertise was unable to make its Stadia platform work then these cloud services are not likely to be around in the long term either.
Microsoft has said it wants to bring its service to more people and is using these no-name cloud services as proof of that but these other platforms are nothing but a smokescreen. The reality is Microsoft wants to attract the PlayStation player base to Game Pass which will be better value as the games will be ‘free’.
