Wonder how much of this blind firing comes from the very top of Microsoft, Satya has been in the past pretty ruthless with layoffs, these layoffs are starting to feel purely a "squeeze out the profits" measure with no care as to where they're being done. Microsoft's shitty corporate ruthlessness coming down on Xbox because Gaming is a huge part of the business now may be partly due to Microsoft executives being more pushy on Xbox and demanding more of them.
I think it's why we've heard rumours about a clash inside of Xbox between those who want to remain exclusive and those who want to release multiplatform titles, I don't mind a few titles here and there multiplatform personally but the clash part is interesting to me, I think it's safe to say that Tim Stuart is multiplatform and Tim would report to Amy Hood who reports to Satya.
These layoffs look utterly baffling.
