The February–March preview for Xai Play had spoken of connecting 40,000 PC games, but had not explained how players would enter. Community members were trying to turn the broad promise of putting games on-chain into steps they could understand.
A rumor spread through the group that the “big move” involved Steam. One member immediately wondered whether another account would be needed; another asked how existing game progress would count. These were questions raised around a rumor, not established features. The Night Watchman urged everyone to list their questions and check them against an official explanation when it came, so that guesses would not circulate as settled functions.
The conversation moved from the number of games to the practical question of how players would connect, giving the next announcement concrete points to answer. The rumor itself remained unexplained.
