For now Blade is fine, I think all the layoffs and cancellations are known now, but that doesn't mean it's safe in the future, quite frankly there's zero reason to believe anything is safe under Microsoft now, Blade can be cancelled in any quarter or fiscal year, we will have mass layoffs next year too, whenever Satya needs to funnel more money into AI. But out of respect to the teams I'll continue to try whatever I can do to support them and won't constantly be repeating that they're doomed because that's not fair to anyone, the developers at these studios must be under enough stress as it is and fear for their careers, and it's not a guarantee anyway that they're going to be shutdown but it is now a possibility.
