The Information: 'Xbox is planning to lay off hundreds of employees this week in its second major staff reduction this year, according to someone briefed on the plans. The Microsoft-owned firm also plans to consolidate several of its game studios, this person said.'
Wario64 linked because the original is gated. This would be part of the 1600 layoffs coming over a 12 month period. My guess is any studio that’s about to ship a game, like Gears of War: E-Day, is going to be targeted most.
Oh finally, we were all so worried about the poor shareholders suffering from this! /s
Someone posted a Groundhog Day gif. Just watched the film a few days ago for the first time. I understood the reference.
I think that movie is peak Bill Murray.
Same gif again.
Yes, we heard. Isn’t this article several months old?
Oh, wait, it’s not.
Lemmy will need to add a recurring feature for news like these.
Game fails? Layoff Game succeeds? Layoff

At this point I’m surprised they still have people they can layoff.
They bought a bunch of their competitors for that very reason
