All in all, not as bad as the doom and gloom fears:
- Nothing closed as of yet. Plans to divest all 5 with no studio closures, only Arkane not divested yet
- Xbox has over 20,000 employees, 3200 over the fiscal year still leaves them with around 17,000 between Xbox Game Studios, Activision Blizzard, and Zenimax divisions. With no closures, these layoffs are "trimming the fat", in other words Asha hopes to get as much development done with less developers, by using automation tools and such, something most publishers and studios will be doing in the coming years, as development team sizes grew unsustainably large over the course of this generation (an average AA now has as many devs as a AAA 15 years ago, and single A/indie teams are at like 50 devs now, as many as a AA like 15 years ago)
