MSFT has a $3T market cap and $60B of free cash flow each year, so I doubt they're hurting for money. This is how "growth at all costs" incentivizes myopic decision-making and doesn't really help foster an environment where studios are willing to take creative risks. Even when they succeed (a la Hi-Fi Rush) they're on the perpetual chopping block.

"The executives and Board are short on caviar and fois* gois. We can't have that when some of those... people still have homes or cars, and can do without more actual meals."

*Flies groi is strictly for us commoners.

Also, I typed it correct twice and twice autocorrect hard failed as I hit send or between send and posting. So AI that consumes too many resources also stinks.
