    I’d expect a capitalist to iterate on a thing people liked, which is cheaper than what it cost to make it the first time, to make and sell more of it.

      Alas, modern corporations are a fucking mad house, where sometimes not even the most profitable solution gets chosen cause ‘risk’ or whatever.

      Stop having such high expectations. They’re capitalists, not video game makers. The money is the ONLY point.

        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.

          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.
