Windows Central editor Jez Corden published an article discussing Microsoft's strategy, which has changed over the years under the leadership of CEO Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood, turning from an innovation corporation into an investment bank that prefers to invest in promising and rapidly growing areas, easily forgetting about ongoing projects.
The corporation's major shift toward artificial intelligence was the reason behind the mass layoffs. In the future, the company's gaming division faces even more serious turmoil due to unrealistic plans set by Amy Hood that are harming Xbox. In part, this is due to expenses that were massive even for Microsoft regarding the acquisition and integration of Activision Blizzard, which the corporation would like to recoup as soon as possible.
