    So a studio owned by the company that also owns the azure infrastructure and has real time access to sales data was caught by surprise by the sales of their game and failed to boot up a couple more Vms to serve paying customers… Right, sounds totally legit and not penny pinching at all.

      Hey man give them a break! Those poor megacorpos need those spare VMs for training their new AI! The customers already paid, what are they going to do other than wait in queue? Its not like they own their copy of completely online dependent game anyways.

        Microsoft should rebrand to Tumorsoft. They have metastisised to an absolutely megalodon of a corporate structure with no redeeming qualities. Their position is justified by nothing other than their legacy of being the default bundled OS on almost every single computer. How this wasn’t already prosecuted to the ground is beyond me. They have “allegedly” bribed several government officials to stop the terrain Linux was making within the EU and suffered exactly 0 consequences.

      Were they really caught by surprise when it happened last launch? I think not. Its intentional.

      Wont buy it until its redesigned. I recommended those that have get a refund.
