Altering Perceived Reality to Make It Seem Like Microsoft is Thriving, Not Failing
18 hours ago by Ryan McCaffrey (IGN):
So they just rebranded Windows PCs as "XBox" to pretend XBox did not die. Nice fiction. Predictable as well.
Microsoft is not dying!
Microsoft is just "evolving" for the so-called "hey hi" era that it declared.
Facebook is doing great, it is just "evolving" for the so-called "metaverse" era that it declared when rebranding as "Meta".
Sounds familiar, right?
What happened to "blockchains" and "NFTs"? Why did Bitcoin fall from almost 100k British pounds to just over 50k in a matter of 6 months?
Let's face it, GAFAM is drowning in debt. The US economy is practically dead for many. Wall Street's alleged "valuations" are based on debt, not assets, or alleged "potential", not actual worth.
And the Wall Street propaganda for 2026 is: if your company dies, then it's not due to a bad economy, IT IS BECAUSE YOU DID NOT ADAPT TO ALL THE HEY HI!!! HEY HI EVERYWHERE. The catch-all excuse.
Wait till the cost of this "HEY HI" (slop) doubles due to surging energy prices.
Microsoft has nothing to show, it's rebranding old products. XBox turned into "cloud" (streaming) and now it's a PC. XBox's cofounder has already openly accepted that XBox is practically dead. Shovelling up slop into Vista 11, Office and so on is about faking "demand" for slop; there's no business model and users loathe it. █
