If only a multibillion dollar gaming company with 20,000 employees could afford to signing to the MSDN and evaluate prereleases.

I don't think Microsoft does nearly enough testing before releasing updates.
That's because they'd rather have users test it than pay for qa
They build and release slop with their current workforce.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
I know this is being played out like Ubisoft is getting unfair treatment here, but I'm going to be very unsurprised when the underlying cause is some bullshit DRM or kernel level bullshit that should never have been bundled with something as frivolous as a videogame
Definitely wouldn't be surprised - MS have been making noises about reducing the level of access non-core Windows services get after the cloudstrike fiasco, and given MS's patch stability lately, I would also not be surprised if something leaked out early.
"Windows is better because it works with even several decade old programs"
So does Linux assuming its compiled statically.
In many cases, Wine on Linux is better for running decades-old Windows software than Windows 10 or 11.
This is why I returned Star Wars Outlaws on Steam. I couldn't even get the game to start. Ubisoft has known about this issue for months now and continues to allow their PC games to be sold in an unplayable state. This is exactly the kind of situation class action lawsuits should be used in, too bad consumer protections are nominal at best in the US.
