    Microsoft is dismantling itself to keep “doing well”. That’s my point

    Their gaming division keeps acquiring and killing game studios. They’re killing off consoles, instead they’re going to sell prebuilds running windows. They’re scaling it all way back and releasing their exclusives, letting steam run the infrastructure, and milking all of their current IP, but not really making more

    They’ve ended support for a ton of different product lines. Azure is a mess. Their desktop market share is falling too.

    They’re all in on AI at this point, literally every tool they offer has it now. It’s not even opt in, it doesn’t require an account anymore… They’re desperate to inflate the numbers so they can project growth a little longer

    What do you think happens when you continuously lay off your workforce and kill projects? When you stop actually doing things, and run a company based on speculation?

    Eventually, the bubble pops.
