After laying off almost 2,000 people, Xbox finds itself in a position at odds with the community-first image it has cultivated for itself.

Still, it bears reiterating lest some start believing in the marketing they spin. No company or division of a company can be a friend to anyone. Even PC darling Valve isn't ! (and I say that having spent thousands of euros on Valve's products and services)

And even bearing that in mind, Microsoft has time and again openly shown anti consumer behavior, so they shouldn't be awarded even the slightest amount of trust. Allowing them to continue existing in their current form is already too much.
