Still don't understand why we cover company stuff like this on here. It's not gaming related in any way.

It should be obvious. Unless you're being sarcastic of course.
It's also the reason shareholders are talked about so much.

I was under the impression we only covered Sony doom articles. You know, like if they sell a building, or a tv factory goes on strike, a ceo spills coffee on his suit...stuff like that. 200m to MS is a drop in the bucket. A new suit for kaz is like 10% of company value.

EDIT: I'm kidding of course.

Excellent, stock up. Nadella keeps cutting the rubbish and focussing more effectively where he should be.

Stock up 33% since he took charge in less than one year, thats a market cap increase of $100bn in 10 months.

Shareholders are loving this guy.

You are absolutely correct, Nadella is doing a great job getting rid of deadweight from his predecessor's missteps.

Seece on 04 December 2014

Just to let you know, this is why spme people were just saying that you probably wotk fot Microsoft, bc most of your posts are either a defense of the company or praise towards it.  Are involved in public relations for Microsoft?

And it looks like you take offense at people's personal preference that in no way affects you.

MS makes bunch of wrong decision all the time, if it wouldnt be for the fed printing money they would be bankrupt and their stocks would be rated junk



Why i left PC gaming

Just wow.

They get free money from the government to offset their losses right?

That sounds like some Japanese company under the Abenomics policies.
