Microsoft cut around 9,000 jobs today, with "less than half" of those coming from the Xbox division. As a result, games have been canceled and at least one studio has been closed completely. This is all sort of in the middle of happening, so here's a recording from earlier today, as some of the details were just starting to get out there. I feel like this will be something we'll be hearing about for weeks to come.

Crazy how Phil needs to remind everyone how strong the xbox brand is in his statement while they're cutting jobs and ruining lives.

Havent listened yet, but i hope he got about Perfect Dark being canceled.

I hope my favorite trailer doesn’t get affected by all these cuts that make up a way-too-small chunk of a company. Jesus.

The job cuts are 4% of Microsoft, but what % do they make up of their gaming department under Xbox?

As someone who recently got laid off after 12.5 years in non-profit marketing and communications with an organization, listening to this episode and Jeff’s breakdown of the process was cathartic and helped give some insight into how hard choices like reducing a workforce might be made. Thank you for this.
