Microsoft Promises Made to be Broken
Hours ago:
Can Microsoft be trusted?
Consider XBox.
After lots of hardware vaporware the company admits that there are 1) sustainability issues; 2) hardware costs concerns.
After assuring a revival... mass layoffs.
After promising studios that things were OK (no need to unionise)... studios shut down. Some workers only find out about this through the news, not internally in their employer.
After promising sequels and games... no more!
"That’s the sequence reported by GamePro and relayed by Germany’s games-news.de," says the above. "And if you’re wondering why Xbox fans keep acting like they’ve got trust issues, congratulations—you’ve been paying attention."
It's a real problem and it is not limited to XBox. Microsoft in general is lying to customers, partners, shareholders, and so-called "Xbox fans" [sic] - i.e. those whom Microsoft exploits for marketing (it gains at their expense). █
