As we well know, Phil is anti-Crunch, and Xbox has alot of games that need to ship asap to show that these barren drought years are not only a thing of the past, but a thing of the distant past. People are hungry for at least 1 more AAA Xbox exclusive release in 2023 beyond the 3 we already have scheduled for the first half, preferably 2 more. |
"Sure, we made record breaking profits over the pandemic but because we irresponsibly over-hired during the pandemic and to save ourselves a little bit of profit, we are now laying off tens of thousands"
Basically the entire tech industry right now, and as I'm typing this Amazon has just announced another 18,000 layoffs on top of the 11,000 they already did, shitty times ahead, I doubt this is the last layoff that Microsoft does. I don't know if many developers will be impacted in this round though, we'll have to wait and see, not seen any yet but the day is early. No matter who though, it sucks.
