It’s been reported that a lot of cuts to Xbox studios were due to losses in MS’s AI business.

I had always viewed Xbox game studios and game pass as a platform dominance thing. Like, keeping players on Windows/Xbox products and keeping a large amount of the games industry under their control.

In general, just trying to keep players on the Windows ecosystem.

Those World War 2 movies as well - like, we already had millions die during the war, and now we’re doing it again to make a movie out of it? (/s)
