so when g+ was a thing and everyone was excited to do hangouts a bunch of goons flooded the thing and so did a bunch of google employees

ended up talking to this guy in a multi-user hangout just because it was possible to do and kinda fun. he was a senior dev or somesuch

made a bit of a faux pas though when he said what his job was and i was like "oh you're a computer janitor" like that was a positive thing to say

obviously clueless on my part but his face just turned bright red and he started trembling and shaking his head

they were the console leader during the 360 era, then they hosed all of that up by not putting the right ram in the console and also thinking that HDMI overlay paired with a cable box was a future (google did this like 7 years earlier with google tv and it failed miserably). they then put a non user replaceable hard drive while simultanously requiring that you install your 50gb games to said hard drive (after constantly ragging on sony for having done this with the ps3).

oh and then put a camera that nobody wants with the console that literally could not be unplugged* or they system would not work

*eventually removed in a software update despite saying it was impossible

ballmer era microsoft was basically defined by "never learn from your mistakes and always double down"

ya they were seen as the leader in online console gaming throughout the 360 era, too bad they squandered all that goodwill!
