XBOX LAYOFFS ARE BAD!! 4 STUDIOS GONE, GAME PASS BLAMED!!
Video Overview & Insights
Follow me on social media:
I highly support the official U.S. federal investigation into foreign worker visa abuse at Microsoft and the legal actions taken by the CWA Union against Microsoft's recent layoffs. I fully stand with the workers fighting back at the upcoming rally on July 15, and I truly hope that this combined legal and political pressure will force Microsoft to "hopefully" reverse all the decisions of layoffs and reinstate most or all of the fired developers very soon. And hopefully, Microsoft will be put under pressure by shareholders so that Asha Sharma has to leave.

Looking at the game list the studios made i am really wondering who greenlights these projects for the budgets they were getting. I wonder how much actual talent was truly fired.

Xbox CEO says Arkane, developer of Marvel's Blade has begun "consultation" to review options
Good way to make all the Devs quit the industry completely, smart move Xbox. Eventually there are only a handfull of game Devs left and then no new Indie games coming out, you kill all your workers and competition at the same time crushing the entire Industry! Simply brilliant way to make people go outside and play in the street again!
"Arkane’s management is beginning required consultation with its Works Council to review potential strategic options." Microsoft is laying off 4800 employees today / 1600 Xbox employees impacted
-Double Fine and Compulsion Games are going independent
All you had to do was show a photo of her. A picture is worth 1000 words.
-Microsoft selling Ninja Theory and Undead Labs Asha Sharma has brought in a start up mentality into Xbox. Speed is a priority.
The Xbox price increase was hastily thrown together after Apple announced its price increases. 'Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox plans to eliminate 3,200 jobs, or around 20% of its staff over the next year'
sea of thieves movie will save them
'ZeniMax will face a significant overhaul and will pivot to focus on its biggest franchises: Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Doom, Quake and Wolfenstein.' Xbox is laying off around 1,600 employees today (8%), with additional layoffs continuing through FY27 totaling 15% of Xbox, as it announces "most significant restructure" in its history and parts ways with several studios:
▪️Double Fine and Compulsion Games are going independent
A woman is over xbox what did you think was gonna happen
▪️Ninja Theory and Undead Labs have been sold off
▪️Arkane is reviewing "potential strategic options"
Funny how Dreamcastguy turns good XBOX news into fear mongering end of the world TITLE.
Decision which normally take weeks are now decided in days or hours. Game Pass. Microsoft decided to ignore all the warnings of how unsustainable the Game Pass model would be, even from industry professionals. How devastating it would be to condition their players to not pay for their games. Compulsion Studios and Double Fine will become independent studios, and Ninja Theory and Undead Labs will be sold to new management Xbox announces plans to cut 3,200 jobs as part of a major restructure. It has also split from four studios - Double Fine, Compulsion Games, Ninja Theory and Undead Labs. It’s seeking a new home for Arkane Lyon, too. Full FAQ through here
State of Decay 3 and Senua will continue to be funded by the new owners
100% a good thing xbox isn't shutting down. They are getting rid of the trash that doesn't make any money. MAYBE WE CAN GET BACK TO NORMAL.

Oh look Dullcast Guy making another Xbox is dead video. You should be more worried about your beloved GayStation.
@peterwright6721Obviously, because you are a Sony Pony, you are making this out to be worse than it really was. A "bloodbath" as predicted would have meant 10,000-20,000 layoffs and 10 studio closures. But the 3200 layoffs and no studio closures are as "good" as can be relative to how bad it could have been. You are just copping with the PlayStation news of them doubling down with physical media discontinuation in 2028. Remember if you do not like America than go move to Japan to be with your Sony PlayStation where they are located. Hahahahahaha
@shanedeanhofmeister-yi1kwYou're willfull ignorance knows no bounds.
@Christian-y3o5zAged like milk.
@NeilJ-b9hNot one mention of 14 layers of management. This is all ragebait. He knows this was a good move for XBOX but because he's the Ekbok Ded Guy he can't admit it 🤣
@codyhartley3743JD VANCE / USHA BUSHA 2032!
@swampfoxIXBut I thought EVERYTHING Phil Spencer was doing was perfect(as I was told daily online) 🤔
@Carl-Gstate of decay and senua are coming out, what are you talking about?
@michaellarkin125the only problem is that Sony was always a hardware company while MS/Xbox were always a software company and now Xbox while moving away from Physicall games they are testing that new program while Sony is testing how to make more Live Service Games
@christonchev9762Im waiting for DC guy to do a playstation is dead video!
@TruthSetsUsFree0791So 5 companes that microsoft has bought will not become indepednent. I play all action games bcause IAM THE SHREDDER THE LEADER OF THE FOOT NINJAS. and fromt he games that these companies play released ihave played all dishonord gams and prey hell blade 1 and 2 south of the mid night psyshoncuats 2 and hell blade 1 and 2. Most of them were great action games except hell blade 1 and 2 where most fo the time you just walk andh ave little action. Cant wait for the next games these companes will make!
@shredderorokusaki3013Wow there are a lot of commies out there.
@BawlZINmotionAfter the PlayStation news..... this is the greatest day of this rat in a cap's life.
So your take is
No matter what Asha said, you dont believe it and go with "your" view being right....
Keep that same energy DreamCastRat.
Dude with how bad it is for x box right now she's making right decisions it's sucks obviously butt it's necessary because of all the poor decisions from the previous ownership I think you're just blatantly putting all the blame on the newer ownership and just assuming the worst
@mikeswift1236I've been saying she was going to ruin Xbox since day 1 with her new CEO announcement.
@LessThanXer0_13But she made the anniversary console transparent green
@ericwhite1513Tentpole ip only and nostalgia bait remakes from all and no ownership
@ericwhite1513Shareholder and investor want ONLY AI employees making games! 🤡 Gaming crash is here!
@The_1st_ShinobiWe're going into the generation of the backlog. I've got years of games to play that I haven't touched yet. Sony and Microsoft can pound sand
@fromscratchgamer2211Had to be done. Scale back back, make it healthy
@grant1905Either XBOX is getting rid of alot of deadweight or is in free fall i'll wait & see.
@T3-AKIt wasn't that long ago that all you talking heads were saying that Xbox and Gamepass was killing Playstation. Now, all the sudden, Microsoft is a bunch of morons. This is just content for the sake of content. I don't care what you think because you actually aren't thinking. You are just reacting to bad news because it's something to talk about.
@WCworkhorseFor once in your life try telling the truth no studios have been shut down their going independent or being sold and they are getting to keep their IPS and finish the games they are working on. Asha's statement was brutally honest and that is refreshing to see, she is cleaning up spencer's mess cutting the bloat getting rid of employees they don't need who are getting paid for doing jack shit this is the reset that was required and as an old ass gamer i support this move.
@pictishgrind920514 layers of management no wonder they didn’t get anything done
@droid4D-dy7jbDreamcast guy was Right the whole time 🎉🎉🎉🎉
@LOW-KEY_78Xbox is pure garbage, this is entirely the fault of a decade rule of Phil Spencer who destroyed Xbox
@dav7687-x9jI love to hate xbox
@jrm956This is great. I feel like the people who are upset didn't actually read her release, just the headlines. Ashas being transparent and this is a step in the right direction
@Quarter_MuncherPlayStation is trash 🚮
@next5135Xbox is trash
@davidleeshields6327ASHASHASHASHASHA SHARMASHARMASHARMA IS AN EVIL PERSON. I CALLED IT
@peter0071000Have faith my fellow xbots Asha will deliver
@PhilspencerredeemerI was just playing rockstar table. Tennis console works just fine.
@icefalcon2243Xbox fanboys: but the gamepass was always profitable , and it was the best deal in gaming 😵💫🤮
@games-fan123Deadstation Puss refunds going through the roof 😂😂🎉
@bakednotfried1Glad this took the heat off sony for stopping why games. I knew xbox buying Activision was a bad move for them. I said back then they would close many studies few years later. Which they had to wait bc if the court case and telling them to not close studios.
@jdmahleIt was stupid of them to buy all them companies and just to close most of them wtf they should just went 3rd party
@sinner13halloweenfiend76Thank Phil Spencer those studios were all hired by xbox under HIS lead and no exclusivity with a $30 game pass price all under Phil Spencers lead.
Phil Spencer killed Xbox
Great News. We're getting closer to the big crash, the big reset. Gaming has been dead for years now, it just needs a little push towards the coffin and get this over with.
@Jay34kthey should bring back Gold since Game Pass is failing
@bonesnalllfannnany Kojima or Sakaguchi (father of Final Fantasy) today would be crushed by HR and DEI, they simply could not outlive their ideas. and yes, if you fire thousands of people, its a good chance some major undiscovered talent was among them...
@MarkusKrämer-b8dAnybody that's likes this man is almost a bigger pos then he is
