Microsoft kicked 9,000 workers out the door yesterday across the entire company. The tech giant chopped jobs from its Xbox and gaming teams but kept quiet about exact numbers. Company executives claim they need more robots and computers to do human work instead. Angry employees say Microsoft wants machines to replace real people as fast as possible. The mass firings happened because Microsoft thinks artificial intelligence can do everything better.
The same day Microsoft destroyed thousands of careers, company leaders sent emails to game developers. They invited creators to a special meeting at Gamescom 2025 about using robot helpers for making games. Brandon Sheffield from Necrosoft Games shared the tone-deaf invitation online for everyone to see. Other developers exploded with anger at Microsoft's terrible timing. Benjamin Rivers from Toronto told the company to get lost in very rude terms.
Microsoft refuses to reveal how many gaming workers lost their paychecks during the brutal cuts. Top executives who made these awful decisions still collect massive salaries every month. These same leaders fired skilled developers who spent years learning their craft. The company believes cheap computer programs can replace decades of human experience and creativity. Microsoft wastes talented people instead of using smart business practices that actually work.
