The word proselytize has appeared in nine articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on June 10 in “How Microsoft Is Ditching the Video Game Console Wars” by Kellen Browning:

In 2017, Microsoft released Xbox Game Pass. For $10 or $15 a month, subscribers could play a specific set of games for as long as they stayed on the service. That upended the traditional model, where people paid $60 for games like Call of Duty and owned them forever.

To persuade game publishers to put their titles on Game Pass, Xbox executives flew around the world to meet developers and proselytize their vision of an industry where video games were cheap and easily accessible.
