I promise you that's not a thing. Microsoft stopped caring about windows. Until very recently it was mostly abandoned and used as a test bed. Focus is always on azure.

MS is a corporate clients first type of company. They really don’t care about consumers, let alone gamers. A huge chunk of their income comes from corporate licences and cloud services.

I know at one point they were strong arming developers to only use direct x via contract. I wouldn’t put it past them. They also just got a new head of Xbox/gaming divison which means they at least have a stake in gaming, even if a small one.

I was hoping they would bring back Clippy, when they announced Microsoft Copilot. At least Microslop would have had something funny and nostalgic.

But no they can't even get that right.

In Germany he had an actual name: Karl Klammer
