A concerning trend has surfaced in the pricing strategies employed by companies like Microsoft. Reports indicate that Microsoft has begun rolling out higher subscription fees while bundling its AI capabilities with existing products, compelling users to pay for features they may not desire. This strategy mirrors tactics employed by other tech giants as they vie for market dominance through both mergers and direct acquisition of technology innovations.
Additionally, Microsoft's ongoing antitrust investigation highlights concerns surrounding whether such practices may cross ethical lines. Numerous allegations suggest that the company is employing questionable strategies to secure profits and maintain its competitive edge.
