Two things I learned about Microsoft, over the years:

1) "ETHICS" does not play a part in their business strategy. Hence the gaming direction they've taken that isn't beneficial to the Hardcore Gamer.

2) "ETHICS" does not play a part in their business strategy. Hence their financial earnings STAY in the Black.

I speak for myself when I say this: I'm a Hedge Fund Manager, but I have no financial stock in Microsoft, SONY, or Nintendo. So from a GAMERS perspective, I don't like the non gaming aspect of their gaming division. Congrats on Microsoft's overall amazing profit numbers, though...

 

Oh dear. Ethics does not play a part in their business strategy, because the gaming direction is not beneficial to the hardcore gamer. That is one crazy statement for a company that donates so much money on charity. Founded by the guy, who is collecting money from billionaires and raising 200 billion USD (!!!) for charity with "The giving pledge".

But yeah, Ethics does not play a big role for them, because their gaming direction is not beneficial for the hardcore gamer.

 

Btw. I am a hardcore gamer, how is their "direction" (whatever this means) not beneficial to me?
