Did the at least gave the laid off people those Controllers, as a severance pay?
Jim Ryan should send them each a batch of Jim Ryan cookies
Microsoft to cut 650 more gaming jobs
It's the second big round of cuts at the Xbox-maker this year following its purchase of Activision Blizzardwww.gamefile.news
More redundancy being removed. That's pretty sad that this happens. I assume MS knew they would do this when acquiring Activision/Bethesda. Is there anyone left? They just laid off 1900 earlier.
Isn't this part of that?
Anyways, I've long said that MGS would get a cut this year to mirror the A-B and BGS cuts. If anything I was expecting two studio/ team closures, and maybe that still happens. But how do you have 650 non developer jobs to cut in a gaming division anyway? What do all of these people even fucking do?

Again
find it hard to feel sorry for Devs that cheerleadered this acquisition
Time to announce the Concord 2nd launch tonight at midnight, no one will know and so no bad PR

Microsoft is on a roll:
I remember that when announced the January 2023 layoffs the MS execs were getting a private Sting concert in Davos (World Economic Forum)
As a joke is fun, but whoever had the idea of posting the 'feel the burn' post back then deserved to be fired. They have to be empathetic with their coworkers.
- January 2023 - 10000 in the whole MS, part of it affecting gaming in studios like 343 or Zenimax/Bethesda
- July 2023 - 276 (customer service, support, sales, maybe not in gaming)
- January 2024 - 1900 in gaming
- September 2024 - 650 in gaming

Lmao oh they taking this piss outta us at this point
However I may or may not get two of those merch, that's what the streets are saying, but who knows lol
Better tell Colt, Boomstick, Parris, Destin, Ryan, Tassi and the rest of 'em to get off Twitter for the day too.
That'd help make Twitter a better place.
No way this shit is $700 for real?More like another wonky edition:
And people going off on sony for the Pro.
Microsoft has the media by the "pussy" so no one made a big deal out of it when it was released. All the fake outrage will vanish and PS5 Pro will be hard to get. I'm preordering as soon as it's available to preorder here.
If it had Philocchio's face instead of SpongeBob it would go for 1k+
same deal with the PS Portal tbh, most people were skeptical but the media was absolutely going ham trashing it. Someone needs to talk about how the media's own stand is sold separately cause they certainly act crooked by themselves
