    I think my expectations are pretty damn low, and Microsoft is still coming in below them. Moves this dumb are actively against their best interests.

      The way they see it, their best interests don’t involve those of the game studio. Buying a studio does two things. It gives them a new business to latch onto and suck all the money out of quickly, and it eliminates competition in the gaming industry. Killing the studio still meets both of those goals. And then they just move onto the next one.

      I mean, yeah, if you’re expecting intelligent long term decisions, those expectations are still too high.

      Remember: This is the group of people STILL actively trying to cover up anthropogenic climate change. Something that not only threatens their long term profitability, but literally threatens the planet with extinction.
