I posted this in another thread but someone suggested creating a new one, so here it goes.
“One bozo gets another bozo. Soon, you're surrounded by bozos. This is called a bozo explosion” - Jobs, Steve.
The reason why Microsoft is failing is the same reason why EA, Activision Blizzard, Ubisoft and others are failing - or will fail completely - sooner or later. Western developers aren't viable anymore because they are a "toxic" place for people who are not activists.
Microsoft has always focused on western developers, and these are all riddled with crazy activism, diversity and incompetence. The people who used to make great games in the past were expelled from them and either retired or partnered with asian companies. The senior employees of Ubisoft and Activision who were still coping with the madness ended up leaving after the recent scandals.
But Sony has Naughty Dog, Santa Monica, etc? Ok, but these are still recycling IPs created a long time ago and I doubt they will be able to create new, interesting games for much longer.
Can you imagine an AAA team being formed around people like these today? No chance when the highest hierarchy of your company starts with a VP for Diversity & Inclusion.
MS should look for talent in indie teams, find them around the world, in China, South Korea, Poland or wherever country where they can dedicate to their passion without being swallowed by woke people. Fund them, take risks.
