Microsoft should tell OpenAI to stop it

I’d argue that Nadella has considered spinning off or even selling Xbox considering how it’s been going for them.

That doesn’t make sense, they spent billions on a shopping spree of game devs.

Their game pass business model, which is terrible for consumers once the rug pull happens, is making them a lot of money and market share

		In the hopes of selling more consoles and that didn’t work. Not sure if you have seen the recent news but things are not looking great there. Gamepass is not making them a lot of money at all. Even after acquiring Activision their operating margin is 3% Big layoffs / studio closures coming in July, on top of the previous ones.

They should’ve done it a while ago before Microsoft acquired more studios.

Microsoft doesn't care about xbox like they care about copilot.

Watch any video from Microsoft leaders of the last years. It's all copilot copilot copilot. Not Xbox Xbox Xbox.

I mean it makes sense because "investors" are all screaming AI, not gaming. But for us it all sucks of course.
