>>23968794Software-making corporations don't actually care about making stuff for gamers. Gamers plop in some money every now and then, download a ton of stuff without actually paying for the bandwidth, and then just leave negatively-worded reviews of both software and hardware whenever they don't run the exact set of games they want to play.
Software-makers vie for enterpise-level users because they know large enterprises can afford to pay all-inclusive maintenance fees, corporate software suites (MS Office) and will also pay to host a fuckton of data on the cloud (AWS, Google Drive, Azure, etc.). Enterprise users are extremely reliable and rarely just tend to take one or two products, since their needs are usually wide enough for them to need an ample suite of products, and will more likely than not pay even for stuff that they rarely plan on using.
In comparison to gamers, enterprise users tend to be extremely courteous, since they have to follow the rules of business etiquette, so for any software development company, they are usually much more of a pleasure to work with than gamers and 80-year-old women.
tl;dr Microsoft gives zero fucks about your gaming experience. They know they can just ruin the user experience for private individuals and still go well above the breaking point by making sure that what large corps use is working more or less.
