As long as they arenât closed. Please for the love of God donât both layoff staff and then announce a closure.
Per a reddit post for Bloombergâs Jason Schrier, these layoffs â for want of a better term â are not linked to the proposed cuts facing Xbox Game Studios next month â instead, he suggests that studio leadership have given employees permission to look for work because âthey almost certainly will be losing their jobsâ.
Nevermind. If true then thatâs pretty much the grim reaperâs scythe swing. Also a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. With this much staff choosing to leave because they donât feel secure in their jobs because Microsoft âsuggestedâ heavy cuts then itâs even harder to imagine the studio surving Xboxâs downsizing.
