My theory is they bought linked in for their dark pattern trade secrets.
MS bought LinkedIn for the foothold and mindshare they held in work-focused social media.
Was anyone else surprised Microsoft didn’t call the latest Gen Xbox the “Xbox One 360 Series X” with how excellent their branding has been as of late?
I have the latest newest xbox, and it's so confusing, I couldn't actually tell you the name of it. I think it's pretty close to what you have there. Maybe without the "360"? But I distinctly recall that it seems to be a mishmash of other xbox names.
