Its crazy to me that even after all these years, gaming media is still using Xbox/Microsoft as a punching bag. I guarantee that this opinion piece wouldnt have been written if Nintendo or Sony were doing the same levels of layoffs. Instead just a few softball articles would be made before going back to the regular clickbait slop basically all of the media giants create.
if Nintendo or Sony were doing the same levels of layoffs
But they’re not. Well, Sony did layoff 900 people last year and took deserved flak for it. But you’re right, it’s not even close to the level of Microsoft the last 2 years.
“If we reduce the number of employees for better short-term financial results, employee morale will decrease. I sincerely doubt employees who fear that they may be laid off will be able to develop software titles that could impress people around the world.”
