https://www.wsj.com/tech/microsoft-cuts-8-of-videogaming-staff-4cc124c7 "Microsoft is laying off about 8% of its videogaming staff, cuts that largely reflect redundancies from its October acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Roughly 1,900 employees will be affected, said Phil Spencer, chief executive of Microsoft Gaming, in a company email Thursday reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. The layoffs mostly represent Activision employees and constitute less than 1% of Microsoft’s total workforce, a spokesman said. In the email, Spencer said Microsoft and Activision are working to create a sustainable cost structure."
Old blizzard is dead
sad 😞
Wtf
WoW is doing better than it has in 10 years Time to layoff 2k people
Really? How do you know. They don’t release sub count anymore I thought
It's been so long since I last heard of that game
Bidenomics
Don’t be dumb. This is capitalism. Absorbed 17k activision blizz employees and this is laying off a small portion because they are redundant.
3trln company…

Well, enshitification of your products leads to poor sales? Microsoft with the latest Fable: For 69.99$ you'll play man beard lady with a bigger dong than yours. You can't customize cause we're preaching a lesson. If you don't like it you're a phobe and we're banning every mod that attempts to fix this. Not even the streamers could keep a straight face to this. 6 months later, title above ☝️
what. Clearly they laid off ppl just because acquisition comes with redundant roles.
Bobby Kotick and his cronies are now gone. That’s what the industry wanted 3 years ago. They’ve been there since. Let’s not forget. Clear the swamp. Start fresh. Change the vibe. Enable an equitable thriving culture. For the good ones who got laid off too, I’m sorry you were impacted. Good ones land on their feet.
There we go again 🙁
