    This is what happens to nearly every business Microsoft buys or invest in. They’re the enshittiers.

    Sony is a close second, BTW 😁

      Cloudflare has been pretty bad too lately. Its like the big companies are not even trying anymore. And if a real war broke out…their facilities are all centralized and VERY easy to target. Keeps me up at night sometimes since a vast majority of services at work are all on central servers.

      In theory the internet self corrects. But in practice, if AWS/Cloudflare/MS/etc…goes down, a LOT of other services you dont even know about are effected. Last AWS issue took down Azure as well as people were scrambling to get servers back up and running (among other things).

      Do you have any examples? I’m not familiar with any major acquisitions Sony has made. Afaik the “acquire company, fire everyone, and run the business into the ground” strategy is mostly an American phenomenon.
