I am low-key hooked on that game, ever since I started it during my recent flight!

Fantastic gameplay loop.

Part of why this doesn't sting as much for MS is that Xbox Hardware is a notably smaller portion of revenue compared to its content and services counterpart.

Plus it's a traditionally lower margin business.

Still, multiple price hikes point to misjudgments made by management.

Yea, the RPG category is kind of odd every year. One of those that isn't always representative of the best, often it's more the most popular!

Bingo. I was just saying this to a group of friends, it's nominated everywhere except GOTY!

This is the same CEO that said there wouldn't be layoffs then laid off staff a couple months later.

I think sky is the limit right now for the first holiday and FY! 22M could be in play.
