OP is always on some console war shyt

I'm interested in seeing the number breakdown, I'd bet most are from marketing.

Guessing Skype will be a big one as well since it’s a dead product, but still had an entire engineering and support infrastructure around it.

Sure, but this is a major news story.

Nah, CHR.



That's unfortunate, but it is what it is. The expectation is for Infinite to be what carries the franchise for the next long while, and frankly, that studio needs to rethink their approach to the series if that's going to happen.

They will have to do a hard reboot

The $80 billion that they are trying to pay for ActiBlizz and ChatGPT could pay those employees over $130k per year…for the next 60 years.

Trash ass company.

Damn. Halo Infinite might be the the last release for a while not because it became its own Destiny style platform, but instead because the studio got rebuilt.

Billion dollar companies aren't billion dollar companies because of charity breh

Thrash ass shyt

[Grand Conde]

The Rona Hiring bubble burst. They will still have lots more employees than when it started

What a surprise to see capitalist shill @MeachTheMonster and that piece of shyt Tom Warren coming up with justifications for the unjustifiable.

 

[Grand Conde]

fukk outa here. I work in tech. I was laid off recently. This will be a very common story this year.

Don't sweat it, you have to lose your job so people like Phil Spencer can add another yacht to their collection.

Who’s talking about charity? They are workers nobody’s talking about working for free.


Maybe if MS spent as much resources on developing their talent as they do attempting to buy talent they’d be in a better position (and wouldn’t have to lay people off and beg for acquisitions to get approval)
