The people making decisions at these companies, the business idiots, are too far removed from real life and real users.

They're stupid. They're bad at their job. They don't deserve their money and life of comfort.

Fuck Microsoft. Don't give them any money.

One of my favourite stories about how dumb these people are, is tge story about the guy who invented the Wii controller. He tried selling his ideo to microsoft and PlayStation first and the xbox guy was so rude to him that someone had to apologize for his own boss. At PlayStation, the guy he met refused to look at him and even acknowledge his existence until he just left. So he went to nintendo anf they made the controllers. Meanwhile PlayStation made tgese weird ice cream cones that hardly worked and no one wanted and microsoft made the kinect that hardly worked and no one wanted.

Kinect was so much cooler than people will admit, the hybrid controls were great, like in Battlefield where you could lean irl to lean in game or use voice commands for all the stuff on the communication wheel.
