This is what happens to nearly every business Microsoft buys or invest in. They're the enshittiers.

Sony is a close second, BTW 😁

Cloudflare has been pretty bad too lately. Its like the big companies are not even trying anymore. And if a real war broke out...their facilities are all centralized and VERY easy to target. Keeps me up at night sometimes since a vast majority of services at work are all on central servers.

In theory the internet self corrects. But in practice, if AWS/Cloudflare/MS/etc...goes down, a LOT of other services you dont even know about are effected. Last AWS issue took down Azure as well as people were scrambling to get servers back up and running (among other things).

Ah the classic EEE strategy: Embrace, expand, enshittify.

Do you have any examples? I'm not familiar with any major acquisitions Sony has made. Afaik the "acquire company, fire everyone, and run the business into the ground" strategy is mostly an American phenomenon.

Sony pictures just closed Pixelmondo after running it further into the ground

Don't forget closing Bluepoint after multiple very successful remakes!

If they just let them remake Bloodborn, they would've been allowed to just print money

That's what AI first development gets you.

[-] firelizzard@programming.dev 18 points 1 month ago

They were doing that before “AI” development was a thing

Look through the history. In 2024 and before that they consistently had 97+%, only rarely dipping down to 95 and once 92%.

Since February 2026 they have been constantly in the 80s.

Ok…? That doesn’t change the fact that Microsoft was enshitifying the software they bought before “AI” was a thing. They didn’t suddenly start doing it when LLMs happened.

[-] squaresinger@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

They enshittified, yes, but uptime isn't a topic of enshittification. You don't make more money by reducing uptime.

Uptime, especially for a critical service like Github, that tons of businesses actually depend on, is a sign of not being able to keep your infrastructure and development under control. And getting below 90% is really, really shameful.
