How old were you when you first learned that JFK didn't kill himself? Tune in this Thursday for more undeniable truth.

In 2025, Xbox made about 24 billion. Conservatively, that means about 700 million of that was profit. In a year with wars on 2 (sometimes 3) continents, broken supply chains, economic downturn, and skyrocketing hardware prices, Xbox still made almost a billion in net profit and it wasn’t enough.

Sure Microsoft may have fired thousands of people and gutted its games division but at least it had more money to pour into Copilot, the 4th most popular AI, a product nobody wants or likes except rich executives, that is constantly losing horrendous amounts of money

Microsoft engineered this so that it looked the least bad optically while at the same time still committing a slaughter, all so that Satya Nadella can still dick around with more useless AI horseshit. Fuck him and fuck Microsoft.

ever since Tim got the tribal tattoo sleeve he’s felt hella tough

fortnite at its peak was around 25 million daily users. roblox is around 130 million daily users. so they want forty fortnites or 7.6 robloxes, totalling 1/8th of the population of planet earth

Seriously. This is a bloodbath now with promises of further suffering in the future. And trying to keep a AA studio alive in this economy is practically a death sentence. There are no silver linings, just a big corporation inflicting misery on a lot of people for their own bottom line.

the quote tweet is great but the whole original post is a pretty interesting read, especially this section which i think is very relevant in this, the age of layoffs, studio closures, and the chronic loss of institutional knowledge

Astonished by the amount of instant Xbox apologia happening in the wake of the company gutting 20% of its staff — 3000+ people without jobs is not worthy of any silver-lining or celebrating of alleged executive honesty. Literacy in reading the room is essential, I’m begging you.

yeah yeah laser aim thank you

The majority of chatter today will be about the fate of studios who build the games we love. But we cannot forget that these cuts will include hundreds of less visible folk w top expertise in a variety of supporting departments. No studios close today, but the loss personal & professional is immense

i also want to have one billion players a day

wait did xbox really in their announcement they were laying off 3200 people really make a point to mention that they have a positive profit margin. they arent even losing money

wild shit. glad, i suppose, that double fine get to still exist even though being independent isnt any guarantee of safety in this nightmare market. textbook microsoft, craven and evil and also brain-dead stupid. bds has simply never been easier to follow

Imagine saying you want to reach one seventh of the entire world population DAILY while also cutting huge amounts of staff. What’s in the water over at Microsoft?

New White House Update! Yah know trans people aren't the ones making your bills go up.

a bloodbath

For fucks sake

“In Chapter 4, we saw dark clouds on the horizon… That’s why, let’s not look there for now. Let’s turn around and watch the sun, before it goes down completely. Let’s smile again. Let’s have one more fun adventure, okay?”

I keep thinking about Xbox tomorrow and feeling for everyone at studios involved. Wish I had something more helpful to say or do. It’s awful.

not that far down on the google image searches for just "spyro" with no other words is this very tall picture of him that i could describe but i won't do that. just want you to see it

i find it very funny that, canonically, the last character in this comic strip would be required by his belief system to murder you the instant you admitted to having used any kind of AI for any purpose
