Following the release of the memo, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said "there's more monetization of Xbox games happening on YouTube" than at Xbox, adding that the Xbox team needed to figure out how to "innovate both in hardware, as well as in the games, going forward in an economically viable way."

"No one can accuse Microsoft of not having invested for the last 25 years," Nadella added. "Now, we have to turn this into a sustainable business that delivers what is fundamentally one of the best sources of entertainment, still."

We didn't know what were doing and throwing money at it didn't help, so now we are going to cut money off completely, this will definitely help

Also, fucking ign redirecting me to a regional version, will always open it in IronFox from now on. I probably should open everything there anyway

We absolutely can accuse them of not having invested. Sure they spent money, but investment involves research and waiting for it to pay off
