Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 48556, member: 636"] Xbox workers are mad as hell after Microsoft fired hundreds of people from game studios. The company shut down The Initiative and killed the Perfect Dark game completely. ZeniMax Online lost its new game Project Blackbird and the studio founder quit. Rare had to cancel Everwild and veteran developer Gregg Mayles walked away. Turn 10 Studios fired most of its staff members. Halo Studios cut five workers during the same brutal round of layoffs. Microsoft Gaming chief Phil Spencer sent a memo bragging about record profits right after firing people. One angry worker said they felt disgusted about celebrating money success after losing their job. The same person complained that Xbox feels years behind other game companies. Microsoft keeps hiring outside studios instead of building internal teams. Workers believe Microsoft wants to replace human employees with artificial intelligence robots. The company has spent billions on AI technology and seems ready to use it everywhere. Game developers worry about losing their jobs to computer programs. One insider said Microsoft tries hard to swap people for AI agents whenever possible. The tech giant has made no secret about pushing AI into every part of its business. Halo Studios plans to reveal their next project at HaloWC 2025 this October. Anonymous sources doubt the new Halo game will meet quality standards that fans expect. Workers feel stressed about shipping games that might disappoint players. The studio faces pressure after Halo Infinite failed to impress gamers. Another bad release could mean more job cuts for the remaining team. [/QUOTE]
