    Microsoft is a criminal organisation that thrives on corruption (no real action being taken with respect anti trust proceedings is still relevant today).

    Crime isn’t only about someone stealing your phone, extracting many billion of dollars via oligopolistic methods of limiting competition and leaving people with no other option than to use their products (irrespective of price or feature consideration) is also criminal activity.

    They are not going to fight the US administratorion on this.

      It serves nicely as an opportunity to remind onlookers that Trump avoided military service using his supposed ‘bone spurs’ as a reason he was unfit, though. Nothing like reminding these idiots that their tough guy is that tough

      Microsoft declining to comment may as well be a confession that they gave this shit the go-ahead

        I don’t know what’s worse, that Microsoft may have given them the go-ahead or that they did it knowing Microsoft would be too scared to say something.

      Probably. Trump will probably sue Microsoft for stealing his battle suit for video games.

      Gates is on it for sure, i believe melinda split over something similar. and his shitck of trying to reinvent his own image, so the epstein files dont bite him in the end. his vaccine iniative is nothing more than scheme, since african countries has considered the vaccine as part of vaccine colonialism.

    I would threaten to not buy any more Halo games but I haven’t bought one in like a decade so I recognize there’s not much bite there.

    This is why while I love 40k, I have mixed feelings about there ever being a mainstream movie/show about it. I can already imagine MAGA wearing shirts saying “Purge the xeno scum”

    It’s another form of kissing the ring. They know it’s bad for business but there’s the implied threat that if they retaliate the FCC will grind the company to a hault.

    So it’s a way of reminding them of their loyalty and extending the president’s influence beyond it’s legal limits, very common tactic during the 1940’s of a particular countries history.

      Considering how dependent on M$ servers and products the 'murican government is, Microsoft could easily push for a MAD standoff against them

      Damn, now I want a mod that replaces all Covenant enemies with these fascists, and replace all their voice lines with actual quotes they’ve said.

      You could do Stephen Miller for the Prophets, Trump for the Elites, and maybe Alex Jones or something for the Grunts.
