      MS doesn’t even care about Windows anymore. All the money is in XBox and their various cloud services, including Office 365.

        Xbox is finished. They have absolutely nothing relevant going on in the console space, Sony ate their lunch primarily because Microsoft are pathologically incapable of developing a compelling product.

          “Make a slightly inferior copy and undercut the competition” has been their mode of operation since Day 1, so that shouldn’t really surprise me.

          I think they meant the Xbox services, games pass, which I do think is MS’s current business model focus. Could be wrong

            Which is crazy because they just upped the price of Game Pass by 50% and lost a ton of subscribers. We don’t know yet if the number of cancelations was financially significant, but it sure looked like it.

    In the field of organizational behavior, escalation of commitment is a human behavior pattern in which an individual or group facing increasingly negative outcomes from a decision, action, or investment nevertheless continue the behavior instead of altering course. The actor maintains behaviors that are irrational, but align with previous decisions and actions.

        Increasingly I just … don’t bother? … with “protected” media. If I absolutely want to watch it it will come out in 🏴‍☠️ circles soon enough anyway. There’s nothing so important I need to see it now after all, no matter how much the marketing tries to convince me otherwise.

        So I don’t stream. Ever. I don’t watch anything that’s protected by DRM. I wait for it to be pirated or I do without (and more and more it’s the latter).
