Microsoft is laying off a further 650 staff from its Xbox gaming business, according to a memo sent by chief Phil Spencer to staff today, September 12, and obtained by IGN.
Man if big studios are constantly layng ppl off, that means in a few years we will probably have an influx of even more small game studios and it’s gonna be way harder for big companies to acquire them.
Though I don’t like the layoffs, I like the world in which game developers are back to steering their own company again.
