why can't they dip into the infinite war chest that they were going to use to go scorched earth on sony and buy up all japanese developers upcoming games?

Exactly. Of course in absolute numbers it's a lot of people being in trouble, but one should also consider the fact that 210k employees are still keeping their job.Honestly do we even know if these are coming from the gaming division? Layoffs during a recession are pretty par for the course. Hope everyone affected gets a new job quickly.
Yeah Xfans are so devoid of basic logic, always using "My uncle Phil is rich" line, but most of MS's revenue is coming from Office and it's other divisions. MS just spent billions on publishers and devs that have taken their pay and jumped shipped and left the studios as shells. Failed upstarts like the Initiative, the fact that gamepass is definitely not profitable and is a verifiable money sink, just like the XBOX business has never been profitable and it still goes on......It's sad the mismanagement. All, the failed investments on the gaming side and the people who have probably worked hard at MS from day 1 or for years are going to face the long road home.......Those managers like Phil who's been wasting MS coffers for years gets promoted, but regular people gets the boot, this world we live in......why can't they dip into the infinite war chest that they were going to use to go scorched earth on sony and buy up all japanese developers upcoming games?

No, these are from their global workforce. They're not laying off 10k employees from the gaming division, despite what some of the moronic replies here will like you to think.
I don't think its even official as of this post, maybe just a rumor ? let's see. 10k people losing their jobs is a terrible thing regardless of circumstance.
Can you please quote the aforementioned moronic replies that are implying that absurd notion?No, these are from their global workforce. They're not laying off 10k employees from the gaming division, despite what some of the moronic replies here will like you to think.

Thank you.
Man that is awful, this probably has nothing to do with it but those people that left from playground games i think, is this maybe something to do with it?
All the shills angling for MS jobs throughout their "gaming journalism" career double thinking the foolishness of their ways? Cause after all, they'll be the first to be dropped on the first batch...
Nah who am I kidding... they'll get spooked for a week then get back to work on the "dream!"
Sure.
Hell, I'd say most of the replies in the thread so far have been an embarrassing display.
I am confused @adamsapple, what are you trying to say about my inquiry?Sure.

FWIW: in 2014 Microspft laid off 18.8% of their ~150k work force.
There is nothing in those comments saying or implying that the alledged 10k layoffs are all happening in the gaming division.Sure.
Hell, I'd say most of the replies in the thread so far have been an embarrassing display.
What you need to know
- Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella confirmed that the company will cut 10,000 jobs by the end of FY23 Q3.
- The move was speculated yesterday and has since been confirmed by Nadella in a message sent out to Microsoft employees and shared with the public.
- The job cuts represent close to 5% of Microsoft's workforce.
