    Everyone seems to think there is some master evil plan behind all this, but I think there’s a simpler explanation. They fucked up.

      Microsoft made $158b gross profit year, which was a 14% increase over the previous year.

      As a comparison, General Motors’ revenue was $170b. Microsoft made almost as much in profit as GM took in totality.

      Closing the studios maybe will save Microsoft $0.1b, so potentially increase their profit line by 0.05%.
