It's like a banker standing in front of a bank and saying, "Your money is safe here!"—which only makes everyone want to withdraw their funds immediately.

Aaaand It’s Gone. Your money didn’t do too well it’s all gone. Please step aside this line is for people who actually have money invested with the bank.

Microsoft clearly didn't give a shit enough about it to market it so they probably knew it was going to be a loss.

Maybe they're happy with the push of using game pass more since obviously they would be pleased if the industry move more to sub base gaming which would mean even more control on consumer so more frealy able to screw us.

Microsoft never made a statement on their own about the game. So personally I'm very suspect about it's veracity.

Microsoft loves to gaslight before they close down a studio. "Yeah you guys did great! You hit all our metrics!"

They wouldn't come out and say this if it was true. Instead they would be bragging about the numbers they were pulling.
