Xbox will be “sunsetted” under new CEO, original co-founder expects: “Her job is going to be as a palliative care doctor who slides Xbox gently into the night”

Rather, he sees Sharma's promotion as a sign that non-AI businesses like Xbox will be "sunsetted" as Microsoft invests wholly in AI as its ultimate solution to absolutely everything.

Blackley stressed that it doesn't matter "whether or not you agree" with this view of AI or games, only that you recognize Microsoft is indeed that committed to AI. If anything, he said, "It would have been shocking if they had somebody in there in a meaningful role who was passionate about games, passionate about the creator-driven business of games, because it would be in direct conflict with everything else Microsoft is doing."

Holy lol. I guess they will just toss out 5 decades of whatever for this new thing?
