companies of the modern era have to justify their existence not just with success, but growth, and Microsoft’s been struggling to do that
“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.
This statement is so causticly capitalist it reads like parody
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.
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.
