Unlike EA, Microsoft can afford to wait a little and then get rid of the employees. They let them do what they want because they have no idea how to run a gaming studio anymore. They don't have any incentive to have expertise, which is why the old Xbox IPs like Halo or Gears died so COD can live in another part of town. They are like tech venture capitalists now, not even just in gaming.

Have they paid off the 70 billion? If they are making money, why are they firing people and cancelling projects?

I hate the auto-hide feature of the start menu. It doesn't work right. I started using Bazzite/KDE, and it's done correctly there.

I don't have to make that assumption to know that you shouldn't sell a product that doesn't work.

I see. I just started using Bazzite and Mint, and I find myself liking Bazzite more. I'd be bummed to find out they were corporate all along, like Android.

I saw an interview on Youtube with the guy heading the Bazzite development. Apparently, he's a "Microsoft Linux Community Manager". What exactly is Microsoft's involvement with Bazzite?

Unfortunately, Microsoft is bigger than 1 good dude. Remember when this one executive threatened to pull MS out of an entire nation because the CMA had an objection regarding the ABK merger? For every one Phil, there are probably 9 of these rich pricks.

I also started using Bazzite recently, but not because of him. But this new video is giving me ideas on what other things I can do. The Linux one popped up in my suggested videos too, and I thought there was good starter information there too. I don't really know much about him otherwise.

Will it kill PC gaming for you if retailers themselves sell video cards for over $150 MSRP?

They just had to copy the walled garden approach of the competitors, and badly at that. They could have not pursued forcing users to a Microsoft account. They could've avoided the telemetry and ads business(/bloat). Google has them beat there anyway. They had the more open alternative to Google and Apple but they're trying terribly to be second fiddle to them. And now Linux has become a good enough alternative to what Windows should've been. They are still the choice for business machines, but they've been terrible with consumer devices.

Of course computers can "compute" faster than humans. In that case, safety should not be compared with the average human. We should be expecting a lot better. It can also fail faster, and in unpredictable ways, than a human depending on the condition, which is why you can't skimp out on sensors.
