“idk, i’m uninformed, i have nothing to prove my thesis with, but all of that obviously can’t be a set of mistakes” — is basically what you’re saying. Why are you so sure, and why are you so keen on shielding Microsoft — one of the most bs corpos out there?
The game may take away mindshare from another game that is strategically more important.
Not only your guess is incorrect, it doesn’t even align with what i described.
Let me try to explin it again: the last game of Tang Gameworks studio was Hi-Fi Rush. Its release couldn’t have possibly interfered with any other franchise Microsoft owns due to the simple fact, that it was released right after the very first announcement on the Xbox Game Show. Games that are presented on such shows, usually come out a month later at the very least. In other words, release window during any game show is always as free as it can possibly be.
Your suggestion doesn’t align even if it was the other way around, as they released the game anyway. That was in january. The decision to close the studio was published in May. Again, despite the commercial success, which was achieved despite Microsoft’s genious PR tactic (aka radiosilence until the game release).
The quality of their OS is not their primary goal.
Their current strategy is to sell user data. If their OS lacks in quality so much, that it becomes buggy and unusable, like in latest update release, not only they won’t be able to collect the data because because the OS simply no longer works for users that had updated, but they’d also start losing their audience even faster than they did before, which means less data to collect and sell in the first place.
To be a successfull databroker, you have to be able to not only capture a aarge quantity of people, but also withhold them. The longer hou’re able to do so, the better.
With AI they have justified the need to record more data. That alone could be reason enough.
*With microsoft copilot, their product.
I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the fect that they force their coders to use ai, and this practice introduced so many bugs in production code, that now they reccomend their users to not update to the latest version of Windows, while hurriedly working on patches.

And what goal you suppose one could achieve by laying off a studio which latest release was both financially successful and praised by the community, despite the fact that microsoft haven’t even bothered to promote the title beforehand?
What goals might be achieved by breaking your flagship product (Windows 11) by making AI write its code, despite the problems with hallucinations and unreliability of the latter, obvious to anyone, who ever used it for any task more complicated than writing an email?
You’re greatly overestimating corporate ability to strategize, while seaking for some hidden meaning where it simply absent.

please elaborate on your question

To invest billions is more difficult because high growths opportunities with high margins rarely exist in that price range.
Yes, you won’t be able to multiply your money. But once you have millions or billions to spare, it’s pretty easy to invest them in such a way that the returns will cover more than you spend on a daily basis at least. This easily develops a certain sense of carelessness.
Are they stupid or do they optimize for different constraints? MS could have introduced AI for surveillance and not for growth.
Ubisoft stock prices plummeted down and nearing the historical minimum.
Microsoft’s trust in ai is akin walking a bridge across a chasm, while building the said bridge on the go. Considering that linux share actively grows in later years, they’re doing a bad job with that bridge. EUs latest concerns about US and reliance on the US technologies don’t help either.
The quality of their product also depleeted, thanks to the reliance on aformentioned ai hype train, and usage of inapropriate technologies to build their OS companents (i.e. using react native for the start menu). All of that tops of with dubious investments, be it OpenAI, or bying Activision a few years prior. Not even mentioning the smaller game studios like Tango Gameworks that they bought only to close off immediately. Everything listed can be summarized as poor management decisions.
You might argue that they’re rich enough to spare a billion or two on such mistakes, but those mistaces appear to be systematic, rather than one-offs. To me it seems like a start of a slow and very painful fall.

they surely will. That doesn’t mean they’re sharp enough to properly strategize. IMO when you have lots of money, you don’t really have to think as much, because it’s kust that more easier to breed money when you already have so much. So when the crisis finally comes, you won’t be able to properly analyze the situation.
Case in point — corpos like Microsoft and Ubisoft.

i switched from gboard to ThumbKey. Took some time to get used to, but now the usual qwerty/swipe keyboards seem inferrior to me. Like, swipe is cool and all, but only as long as the keyboard knows the word you’re looking for. As soon as you need to type out anything manually, it always turns into hell

Winter: YAAAY, snow! YIPPEE :D
Spring: OMG, THE SKY IS NO LONGER GREY, OMG LOOK AT THIS CUTE LITTLE FLOWER RISING BACK TO LIFE
Summer: I want a huge pile of ice in my enclosement, like i’m a polar bear in a zoo. Ice cream, you scream, everybody screams. At least iced beverages are nice. And i kinda like the view of the heavy clouds covering half of the sky, while other half remains bright and clear. Absolutely special kind of weather.
Autumn: The temperature is soo nice! AND OMG LOOK THE FOREST IS SO BEAUTIFUL
