companies of the modern era have to justify their existence not just with success, but growth, and Microsoft’s been struggling to do that.
All natural and technological processes proceed in such a way that the availability of the remaining energy decreases. In all energy exchanges, if no energy enters or leaves an isolated system, the entropy of that system increases. Energy continuously flows from being concentrated to becoming dispersed, spread out, wasted and useless. New energy cannot be created and high grade energy is being destroyed. An economy based on endless growth isǗ̷̺̲͖̹̅̕Ñ̸̓ͅS̷̡̱̫̈́̄Ȕ̸̱̦͜S̶̟̈̈́͐̆͐T̸̢͕̭̞̺̅̊͗̾A̶̢̞̔ͅI̸̜̜͕̓̔̎͝N̷̢̂̚͝Å̴̖̻̘̉͋͜ͅB̸̨̲̗̹́L̴̖͙̜̝̓̈́È̷͎̤
I’m so glad you posted this! I saw a wall of text concluded by a cursed unsustainable, and I couldn’t help but say unsustainable like in the song. It wasn’t until I played the song on my phone that I realized the link below was the song and these were the lyrics lol

“The last year or so in videogames,” says Bond, “largely the industry’s been flat … [we saw some] tremendously groundbreaking games, but the growth didn’t follow all that.”
Whelp, now that everyone went back to work and not stuck at home anymore, it’s actually amazing that the video game industry is still flat, but apparently that’s not enough. Probably nothing can top covid19 effect to game industry anytime soon, unless they have another virus in the work /s
You know, no better way to achieve growth than firing the team that brought you one of your best recent successes.
Don’t worry, H5N1 is here to save the gaming industry!
Microsoft seems like a company who would be willing to cause a new pandemic themselves if it meant to increase quarterly growth.
Do you know what fiduciary duty means?
Nice one!
Not sure if it features in the fallout games, but it’s a banger line in the TV series.
It’s almost like if you give business too much money too quickly they make poor decisions always. Huh. Golly.
This statement is so causticly capitalist it reads like parody
So… They were not making enough money?
They were making enough money, but not as much as they’d like.
Don’t be silly, for these types of people you can never make enough money.
