Phil Spencer doesn't give a fukk. 
Microsoft will lay off approximately 650 people from its gaming team, the company's head of gaming, Phil Spencer, told employees in an email to team members this morning.
Spencer framed them in the context of Microsoft's October 2023 $69 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard.
"As part of aligning our post-acquisition team structure and managing our business, we have made the decision to eliminate approximately 650 roles across Microsoft Gaming—mostly corporate and supporting functions—to organize our business for long term success," Spencer wrote.
