This is perfect. And with every step the PR machine manipulated their fanbase into supporting and defending the slow decline. The final Tweet will be 'It wasn't very poplular anyway. Who cares?' You can see this taking place with everything MS does. Currently their PR is trying to convince their fanbase Singleplayer isn't necessary. |
It's added to the list of recent Microsoft failures in the consumer space that have been officially canned:
Windows RT
Microsoft Band
Lumia line of phones (and now Windows Mobile officially)
Groove Music
It's a considerable amount of dead weight Microsoft has been shedding recently. Mobile is particularly egregious for me because of their "mobile-first cloud-first" mission statement as well as continued public comments about their commitment to mobile. I've been using it for about 5 years now and that entire ecosystem is going to be a waste when I have to jump ship to a new OS.
Unfortunately they were blowing sunshine up people's butts.
