    The people making decisions at these companies, the business idiots, are too far removed from real life and real users.

    They’re stupid. They’re bad at their job. They don’t deserve their money and life of comfort.

      One of my favourite stories about how dumb these people are, is tge story about the guy who invented the Wii controller. He tried selling his ideo to microsoft and PlayStation first and the xbox guy was so rude to him that someone had to apologize for his own boss. At PlayStation, the guy he met refused to look at him and even acknowledge his existence until he just left. So he went to nintendo anf they made the controllers. Meanwhile PlayStation made tgese weird ice cream cones that hardly worked and no one wanted and microsoft made the kinect that hardly worked and no one wanted.

    Is this a conclusion microslop came to from “people watching others playing video games”? Like I am guilty of that myself, but never in hell I thought to let a machine play. At least watching people play most have personalities and it’s interesting to see the decisions made. or skill if it’s competitive games.
