Realistically, a lot of this is probably corporate overlap from the mergers (HR, legal, finance, marketing etc roles being redundant) but I'm not sure if even that can account for 1900 jobs being cut. That's quite an org redesign.

Hopefully Microsoft gives those folks a nice severance to land on their feet

"Gamers" have such bleeding hearts lol

How dare they package out redundant employees like every other company is doing these days regardless of industry?!

But please don't charge more for my games or try to push additional monetization on me. Oh yeah, and please keep feeding me 100+ hour AAA singleplayer games every month...

These companies are not your friends lol

Cancel a survival game when Palworld is making the genre have a resurgence. Phil Spencer the visionary.

Survival as a genre never fell off tho.

Lethal Company was just late last year and Sons of the Forest was earlier that year.

NMS had a huge expansion too.

All these games do decently in popularity and streams.
