Summary: Microsoft is in trouble, but Microsoft-funded media won’t say it like that

THE XBox problems [1] (many layoffs there, even an existential crisis!) have been mentioned in Daily Links already, as was the conflict between Microsoft and its de facto subsidiary, ‘Open’ HEY HI.

=> an existential crisis

‘Open’ HEY HI now says something to the effect of, our chatbot actually sucks, don’t trust Microsoft-bribed media [2-3]. For those who don’t know, ‘Open’ HEY HI is actually losing billions of dollars (this information is out there; it’s not a secret, only a little suppressed!). Then there are the antitrust obstacles [4], which are covered in the mainstream media [5-6]. So there are growing tensions with ‘Open’ HEY HI [7] and with the US government [8] which may have just doomed the ambitions of resurrecting the gaming business [9-12] by buying another company.

Tough year for Microsoft, layoffs aside. █
