This is how you get all your officers killed in the battlefield.

Colonial sharpshooters were already excellent at picking off Redcoat officers in 1774.

Then both Union and Confederate officers were picked off at a high rate. Look at how garish Grant’s uniform is compared to Stormin’ Norman.

Finally we learned. WW2 officers had ornamentations removed or covered, even far from the battlefield. When the Indianapolis was hit, no one could locate Admiral Spruance. They thought he might have died. Nope, there was a guy wearing just khakis and no ornamentation helping fight the fires— turned out it was Spruance. No one recognized him because he only recently transferred his flag over.

Uh, Voyager aired in 1995 so if you’re 30 now, you would be 1 year old when it aired. Would have been 2 years old when Janeway and Paris had lizard sex. Timothée “Paul Wonka” Chalamet wasn’t even born when Voyager premiered.

When Seska was betraying the crew, Square released Final Fantasy 7.

Voyager encountered the Borg and met Seven about when Baby Hit Me One More Time was released.

When Janeway finally got Voyager home, Drake was starting his career on DeGrassi.

Microsoft made $158b gross profit year, which was a 14% increase over the previous year.

As a comparison, General Motors’ revenue was $170b. Microsoft made almost as much in profit as GM took in totality.

Closing the studios maybe will save Microsoft $0.1b, so potentially increase their profit line by 0.05%.

So hard to think of it as anything other than a middle finger to the devs. Even if it were a mistake, they could afford to let it cook longer like with Rare and redeem the “mistake”.

It’s the Juicero strategy.
