We should probably be clear eyed about the fact that Microsoft purchased a huge roster of some of the world's best game development studios only to turn around and use them all as kindling for its ill-begotten AI boondoggle

Nine thousand people didn't get laid off so Microsoft can stay in business. It's a profitable company - very profitable in fact. They got laid off because they are not making magic Copilot beans, and Microsoft wants to spend more money on magic beans

Heaven forfend they spend money on making their legacy products not suck. PowerPoint will not be saved by AI.
