I am stunned speachless. This heartbreaking and completelyunnecessary. So much talent is being lost because of this!

Copilot took Xbox for every cent it had, sadly understandable that they have to cut it loose.

if they cut Bethesda/Zenimax loose in the future, would that mean that the studio will be buyable?

SACRIFICE EVERYTHING ON THE ALTAR OF AI SPILL BLOOD FOR OUR CORPORATE LORDS DRAG ENTRAILS FOR THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR

3200 workers and 4 studios? That's a whole console generation worth of layoffs

Phil Spencer has an estimated base salary of around $10 million per year Asha Sharma's net worth is 50+ million But yeah, let's get rid of the people who actually make the games

Microsoft hates humans.

Dismantle microsoft.

Pink slip ring of death.

Time to worker-own game dev? May I pitch: A Buddha Dharma multiplayer NonAI Art treasury game? This brother/former gamer to direct? #MondayMetta web.plumvillage.app/contributors...

I love this line following the corpo speak though “wrote Sharma, who runs a company that has gobbled up and spit out a huge number of studios over the years.”

All those indie studios they bought didn't want to make giant AAA games. The hell is wrong with them?

They had one good generation, where they miraculously tied with Sony. Other than that? Bupkis.

I'm sure that'll help them reach a billion users per day. Infinite growth sure is a good and achievable thing!

There’s just no way they’re doing this…AGAIN!!!! youtu.be/smLy_S6spDw?...

AAA sucks since a while. Indies are doing great!

Indies is where it's at

I think as terrible as this is, probably necessary to some degree especially for Xbox. They need a very concise and big budget first party catalog. Giving out money to dozens of studios is not a winning strategy in a world of AI slop.

Nintendo: *Smiles and nods*

"XBOX, fire everyone."

I think Microsoft has the money to fund games that don't make an enormous profit in the interest of good will with critics and fans but I guess I'm not a huge IQ CEO bean counter so what would I know

A slow and painful death
