Microsoft had $80 billion to piss up a wall on AI investment, and I don't want this fact lost when we're talking about studio closures, they had obscene amounts of money to throw at slop machines.

Let's be 100% clear on this, Microsoft is investing $80 Billion in AI.
This is not conjecture or speculation, it is plainly in their own words back in January this year, they gutted a profitable games division because AI is the new shiny bauble. blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issue...

Just repeating it because some are repeating Microsoft's lies unquestioningly about them having to cut people to save money, etc.
Their gaming division was 26 *billion* USD in the black. They had just posted record revenue. They were swimming in money.
But Microsoft wants to invest *80bn* in AI.
