Corporate takeover Memes

The Xbox acquisition spree in a nutshell! Microsoft sees developers drowning in cash problems and swoops in like a corporate superhero with acquisition offers. "Got money troubles? We can fix that!" Meanwhile, their wallet is open wider than their Windows update notifications. The gaming industry's sugar daddy keeps collecting studios like I collect unfinished side projects. Next thing you know, they'll own the rights to your childhood memories and charge a subscription fee.

Microsoft taking Skype behind the shed is the tech equivalent of Old Yeller. After acquiring Skype for $8.5 billion in 2011, Microsoft has been slowly putting it out of its misery while Teams gets all the attention. The once-revolutionary VoIP platform is now just waiting for the final bullet as Microsoft prepares its eulogy. The irony? They're killing it with the same cold efficiency that Skype used to kill your CPU resources.
