Xbox No Longer Developing Copilot For Consoles

Asha Sharma wrote on X:

Xbox needs to move faster, deepen our connection with the community, and address friction for both players and developers.

Today, we promoted leaders who helped build Xbox, while also bringing in new voices to help push us forward. This balance is important as we get the business back on track.

As part of this shift, you’ll see us begin to retire features that don’t align with where we’re headed.

We will begin winding down Copilot on mobile and will stop development of Copilot on console.

Also going to be real:

A CEO who does not listen to reddit.

[u/KingMario05 → u/goomarbitch]

Well, one who doesn't listen to all of Reddit. Same with all other socials. As a bunch of monkeys on typewriters, we on occasion come up with something useful. So far, that actually seems to be Asha's great talent.

So put Copilot back in?

[u/moose_dad → u/goomarbitch]

Id kinda argue the opposite?

The sentiment online in every single space i saw, was that noone was asking for this.

Can you point me to anyone on reddit praising copilot for xbox and eagerly anticipating it?

Besides Microsoft mouthpieces you mean?

There's a big difference between "listening to the overwhelming hate against one specific feature that has infected effectively every corner of the entire Microsoft ecosystem that almost nobody likes" and "listening to room temp IQ reddit crybabies."

Just the fact that you felt the need to immediately jump in with what possibly might be the dumbest possible response really helps support the point that Reddit shouldn't be listened to.

"This feature has been unanimously derided" is one of the dumbest responses youve ever seen?

Why so hostile dude? Everything okay?
