[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Infynis@midwest.social 5 points 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [+] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 11 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
