微软正式关闭影视内容商店 战略收缩聚焦游戏主业
Huan Qiu Wang· 2025-07-19 04:01
行业分析师指出,微软此举是"回归核心竞争力的必然选择"。近年来,该公司通过1900人大规模裁员、关闭The Initiative工作室、砍掉《完美黑暗》等项目,集中资源开发《毁灭战士:黑暗纪元》等3A大作,并为即将上市的 ROG Xbox Ally掌机铺路。数据显示,微软游戏业务收入已连续四个季度保持两位数增长,而影视内容销售占比 不足1%,剥离非核心业务有助于提升资本效率。 微软的退出被视为流媒体市场竞争白热化的缩影。近年来,苹果、亚马逊等科技巨头持续加码原创内容投入,而 传统媒体公司如华纳兄弟探索、派拉蒙全球则通过合并重组应对挑战。在此背景下,微软选择"退一步海阔天 空",将资源倾斜至游戏订阅服务Xbox Game Pass(XGP)。截至2025年第二季度,XGP订阅用户已突破5000万, 成为微软娱乐生态的支柱。 微软的战略调整与其整体业务布局密切相关。2024年,微软以687亿美元收购动视暴雪后,游戏业务收入占比已超 过30%,成为仅次于云计算的第二大利润源。与此同时,Azure云服务通过为Netflix、索尼PS Now提供底层技术支 持,间接渗透流媒体市场。这种"退居幕后"的模式,或成为微软在娱 ...
美防长焦虑:中方人员不再参与任何项目
Guan Cha Zhe Wang· 2025-07-19 03:25
【文/观察者网 阮佳琪】 特朗普政府对中方技术人员的"围剿"还在继续。据英媒路透社、美媒CNBC等18日报道,当地时间周 五,美国政府的主要承包商微软宣布,停止任用中国工程师向美国军方提供技术支持。 当天,微软发言人弗兰克·肖(Frank Shaw)在社交平台X上发文称,公司已调整对美国政府客户的服务 方式,"以回应本周早些时候出现的担忧……确保没有中国本土的工程团队为五角大楼使用的服务提供 技术支持"。 报道指出,这项决定源于美国调查新闻组织"ProPublica"近日发布的一篇文章。其中透露,在美国"数字 护卫"的监督下,微软曾安排中国工程师参与美军云计算系统的相关工作。 文章声称,这些"数字护卫"是通过分包商雇佣的,持有安全许可,但普遍缺乏技术能力,难以评估中国 工程师的工作是否存在网络安全隐患。 根据文中介绍,所谓"数字护卫"是指,由于美国国防部要求处理敏感数据的人员必须是美国公民或永久 居民,微软的外籍员工不得直接访问敏感的云系统,因此依赖于全球劳动力的微软建立了"数字护卫"计 划,雇佣在美国拥有安全许可的员工,负责听取执行海外工程师的指令,并将工程师的命令复制粘贴至 系统中。 福克斯新闻援引消息人 ...
