Era cancelling him in 3... 2... 1...
Or does their love for the corporation outweigh that?
Well they already banned any links to Florian on there. If he has an account over there they'll probably pretend it doesn't exist unless he's egotistical & stupid enough to post with it.
Which will probably end up happening very soon.
I think this is a nonsense take.
Xbox wouldn't have lasted this long without Microsoft.
Yes, because of the combination of MS making many bad business & creative decisions with the division alongside all the money their non-gaming sectors bring in to offset the losses of the Xbox division due to said mistakes.
But Xbox IMO would have been around today and in a much better spot, if MS actually took up Sega's offer to bankroll a Dreamcast 2. Let Sega handle the hardware, software, marketing, distribution etc., and Microsoft money to finance them. That was the best combination but Microsoft turned it down because they wanted absolute control of the entire pipeline.
I would have much preferred a reality where Sega were still a platform holder and Microsoft were a backing financer of their operations, compared to what we have today. Microsoft have enabled the worst toxicity and corporate FUD campaigns in the industry. At this point they nullify many of what good they brought in the past, IMO.
I'm generally not happy to see people perma-banned, but he's an exception. I'm glad he's gone and hope never to see him/his alt on here ever again.
People like him bring absolutely nothing of value to gaming discussion that someone else equally (or more) knowledgeable couldn't bring while leaving the rabid toxicity behind.
