The hilarious thing is, according to Valve, MC won’t even communicate directly with them.

it means stable & affordable. like your landlord can’t kick you out, and your rent won’t be jacked up unreasonably
yeah that would be the best interpretation, hopefully the right one.

I like that you’re looking at the positives :D

that’s because these are meant to be general purpose tools.
when some religious nutbag rolls one that’s hard coded to be a true believer, watch out

but, like trump, he knew. santa knows about all the kiddo predators, he fucking sees you while you’re sleeping and knows when you’re awake, why isn’t santa doing anything?

it’s gonna be interesting when AI’s start fighting each other. Think religious wars are nasty? Wait until agentic AI starts driving automated trucks into ‘enemy’ data centers…

malice is a kind of incompetence. and yeah, I think their lack of forethought regarding the future of their business is fundamentally stupid. you would too if you had half a brain.
you’re too quick to assume it’s some kind of intentional effort to assassinate their userbase - when as usual it’s cut corners and profit seeking, because the engineers haven’t been in charge for a long time, and the bean counters are stupid enough to think they can run a manufacturer better than the slide-rulers when the stakes are literally sky high.
should they be held accountable for their stupidity? of course.
I didn’t crayons so I can’t simplify it further. vaya con disco.

then where did the smell come from!?
- Comment on glamorous dinos 4 days ago:
the lack of evidence for CFC’s points to their lack of hairspray tho.
So it’d be really frizzy dino hair.

haha how about a quick round of hide and go fuck yourself while we’re at it.
positing that their incompetency hasn’t hurt the company at all is simply silly.

Let’s look at the stock history: oh yeah boeing hasn’t suffered financially at all. let’s see, 2019: peaks at $422… today $221
now, I’m not gonna tell you that’s fallen far enough to make up for the shittery, but it’s hardly doing their business good.
but thanks for playing!

in a way… private equity blocks of institutional investment represent a huge chunk of outstanding shares.
and one of the cruel aspects of all this: so many of those devs were drawn to work for MS subsidiaries - or their companies were drawn to sell to MS - because of stock options. Stock options which - for the vast majority of those devs - will never vest, and they’ll be shitcanned, and their shares will go back to the mothership.
Stock options are a huge component when people are negotiating and studios are selling out, but only the top tier executives will ever get good shares vested in a sane timeline. The rest get it dangled to keep them onboard, then yanked because of a mythical need to cut costs when profits are through the roof.
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 6 days ago:
because what Microsoft wants is your user data
yup. adverts all over windows 11, edge and now AI garbage pushed onto hapless users… it’s a complete shitshow.
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 6 days ago:
do enough bad business and it’ll whip right around and effect those profits. watch.
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 6 days ago:
Up til about ten years ago, doing mass layoffs was seen as a sign of company in trouble; it scared shareholders and it made talent less likely to apply to your company.
really good point.
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 6 days ago:
from a gamedev perspective - they overinvested in studios, which are only pumping major returns into their coffers, but not anticipated AI returns so, cut the teams. and cut the teams some more.
then cut the teams a bit more. 9000 layoffs ya know.
well, maybe, then hire a bunch because maybe you cut too far?
nah, cut some more. oblivion remastered only made an absolute shitton.
it’s a move that’s making any dev looking to work with MS/Xbox really wary because it seems that they want their IP a lot more than their studios.
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 6 days ago:
another layoff
then another press release on how high the profits are!

Even today the damage isn’t gone, there’s still so much untangling and deprogramming to do.
it stunts their development while assuring them they have all the answers. funny, this is a recurring theme in religion that I see…

slow down there bud. burning the book would release co2 to the atmosphere and only return ashes and heat.
RECYCLING THE BOOK enables it to have a chance at being a better book, a book not fulla shit. a book someone should read.
