What they're doing to such an important piece of global technological infrastructure should be a crime. The mismanagement of Microsoft should see someone getting hanged for their malicious incompetence.
Grummz is missing an important part of the picture: Microsoft has recently applied for H1Bs in excess of the number of people they laid off. It isn’t contraction, it’s replacement.
A Netflix model for gaming was never a problem in and of itself, and it actually could have been a huge success. The problem was that the power went straight to their fucking heads as soon as they started implementing it. Not just Microsoft but the entire industry became obsessed with fucking the players out of pure greed, aggressive monetisation, going back and altering historical titles to remove “offensive” content, policing speech and banning accounts, injecting left wing politics into all their titles etc… Instead of just selling “fun” like they’d been doing for decades.
And perhaps worst of all the entire “you will own nothing and be happy” WEF model that drives all their decision making. We don’t “buy” their product, we simply rent a license to use it. But they get to tell us up front that the product will expire someday whenever they feel like it and there’s nothing we can do. We have no rights, it says so in their twelve thousand word licensing agreements we’re forced to accept if we wish to even install their shitty, unoptimised slopware crammed with DRM and the latest in spyware.
EXTREMELY shitty corporate behaviour, and extremely out of touch with their customer base. Just as bad (if not worse) than jaguar with their woke ad campaign or bud light and the Troon.
They got high on their own supply and thought they had the upper hand because all the legalese was in their favour, but it turns out you can’t trick and bully people into buying your shitty products forever. Eventually the audience loses interest and goes elsewhere.
The entire business model they were all banking on is tainted now and unappealing to the average player, and will remain so until they do something about their own shitty behaviour (which lets be honest they probably won’t)

It seems the company may replace them with H1Bs.
Jeet CEO vastly overspends, then to cut costs he fires local employees and hires jeets, where have I seen this before?
Saaaar you are replaced!
And do not redeem the cards!
To the shock of no one. Jeets care more about bringing in more jeets then the success of the company.
Only doing the needful saar.

This is actually correct. MSoft is too valuable to be foreign owned. Trump should seize control as a matter of national defense.
israel hasn't given him the green light yet.
I could tolerate the existence of Windows 11 if it was a side project. Because there's no way I'm letting that piece of shit on any computer I own.
They're trying to shove AI into notepad. That really says everything about how that OS is being managed.

Nearly at 3 to 1.
Which, if you work in IT today, is still not enough jeet brainpower to replace the Whites getting axed.
XBox is still a thing? I thought they dropped the console division years ago.
Xbox has come to mean their entire gaming division across all platforms
They are putting out that handheld console for what ever reason. Maybe there are still Xbox fans that would chose that over a steamdeck, who knows.
It's just a rebadged ROG Ally anyways, Microsoft has didly squat

Replacing huwhites with pajeets should be actionable under civil rights/disparate impact.
But it won't be.
Vegeta, what does the scouter say about these layoffs!?
