You cannot change bad-faith opinions with good-faith arguments.

@SynthPotato @asha_shar Yet. From the inside chatter, Bethesda/Zanimax/Obsidion/id folks have no clue how they’re supposed to do get anything done while so gutted.

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

@EvansVeris @Methshin She’s attempting to use lowered labor costs to offset hardware costs, which is a direct result of over-investing on AI, her previous position. The studios wont be able to function effectively so gutted, and the losses will likely get worse.

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

@9400BCE @asha_shar Balls, perhaps. Conscience, certainly not.

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

@SSD_2X @epictreasure1 @asha_shar Gross. I recognize some of these names. They were essential to their studios’ successes. Yesterday’s action will harm, not help, these studios profitability as well as harming the individuals affected, but those responsible for X-Box’s problems are so far unscathed.

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

@epictreasure1 @bulldoggydoggg @asha_shar They are wildly profitable, though. And X-Box’s problems are more about hardware costs, a result of over-investment in AI. What division did Sharwa previously work in again? Laying off so many people you can’t effectively function due to problems she created isn’t a solution.

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

@Isaacsnewgroove @TreyGolfFish @SenSanders Impressive considering how stupid the rest of the tweet was.

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

Today’s decision isn’t just bad ethics (though it is sociopathically unethical); it’s bad business. You have discarded essential crew. These now-skeletal studios can’t maintain quality. @asha_shar, a person of conscience or reason would have resigned before taking today’s action

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

@Microsoft how about you lay off Asha Sharma instead?

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

@UESP_net This is gut wrenching.

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

@XeoMafia @JamieJones723 @PaulTassi But the massive investment and infrastructure building in AI continues, and while it does, hardware will remain unaffordable for consumers.

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

@asha_shar No person of conscience participated in today’s decision.

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

@MemeNonLibs @asha_shar Why is it the top comment on everything always just something evil?

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

@AmazonHelp The item, which again I 100% needed on the promised delivery date of the 9th, has now been pushed again to the 12th. Reliability is part of what your customers pay for. Making it this plain that Amazon is unreliable seems like poor business.

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

How is it you can place dozens of Amazon orders and all arrive promptly, but as soon as one is non-negotiable has-to-arrive-on-time, a-delay-is-as-bad-as-not-delivering-at-all, it’s delayed. How do they know? @amazon

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

@AmazonHelp I realize this is a automated response, but you missed the “late is as bad as not delivering it at all” part. I’ll have scramble to purchase a similar item at a physical store before an event I’m hosting this evening. An apology without any attempt to do anything is hollow.

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

@UofOklahoma Congratulations on finding that rarest of things, a clear case of binary right and wrong, and managing to choose the binary wrong. Impressive in its own way.

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

@TurningPointOU This decision was vile, and your response is loathsome. Evil exists, and if you need to seek it out, try the mirror.

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

@TurningPointOU Gloating. Clear and unambiguous wrong beat clear and unambiguous right today, and you gloat. I’d say shame on you, but if you had any shame you’d already be paralyzed by it.

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

@RealJamesWoods @BrookeSingman Come on man, it’s not even a good lie.

[Clinton Steeds @ClintonSteeds]

@BrookeSingman There’s a zero percent chance you actually believe this. What’s more, I know you understand the evil of spreading this lie.
