“We’re confident our incredible users will just give us their hard earned money for the lulz”, new XBOX CEO Asha Sharma is quoted as saying

I recently saw on a pro-Microsoft subreddit the applauded opinion that they have every right to do whatever they want, especially to aquired studios, their games, and their developers, because as a business, they must make money Nintendo wishes it could have a fanbase willing to shill that hard lol

>shows off state of decay 3 >also selling off said games developer/threatening to shutter it MID DEVELOPMENT "Why is xbox failing?" I dunno man, that seems like flawless business acumen.

This is ❌BOX

It's like McDonald's having no other avenue left to cut costs so they just go "hey, kids! Our new, cool McDonalds approach: no burgers or chicken or fries!"

I did the same recently. I even compare everything against Steam now and try to buy everything on GOG instead.

Sounds like they're finally pivoting toward multiplatform. I'm curious to see if their first-party titles actually hit PlayStation and Switch.

Companies that talk about their brave new routes whilst anihilating big portions of their own company, just show me they don't know what they are doing to begin with. Especially when it's their own product they cancel too.

I sent a text to my friend at my old team at Xbox wishing them the best of luck for what was to come. The sad thing was as I scrolled up my messages, I had sent the same type of text to him at the same time last year.

Hey they did this back in 2013 too

Sick!

In fact, a game the customers imagine will always be better than the one they get, so fire all developers for good measure so as not to ruin a perfect imaginary game. Yeah, this does seem to track with MS actions lately.

At this point in the corporate hellscape, every company out there expresses their complete disdain for their customers in new and soul-sucking ways.
