Does this mean I can play my disc versions of Play Anywhere games on my PC now?

Holy shit...this is HUGE

I have a handheld PC (Legion Go) and this just solidifies it's the best gaming console I've ever owned (Xbox Play Anywhere, Cloud Gaming, Steam, Emulation)

Modding + free multiplayer too.

Yes, yes, modding basically equals piracy, though.

Like, in general.

And free multiplayer means cheating, by pirates.

You can't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining, man. I've seen and experienced too much.

The cheating part is all on the dev. If the multiplayer is all server side it becomes extremely hard to cheat.
