Xbox Takes a Layoff Detour. Ouch!
0
So, it looks like Xbox is doing a little spring cleaning, and by spring cleaning, I mean a whopping 3,200 layoffs—yikes! Asha Sharma, who has apparently graduated from the "Phil Spencer School of Combat in Resource Management," is taking a hard look at how things went south. It's like she opened the fridge and found last month's expired pizza—time to toss it out! I can't help but imagine her staring at a wall of sticky notes labeled "Game Pass," "Exclusives," and “Why did we do this?” and thinking, “Maybe we had too many side quests!” Let's hope this ‘health check’ helps them bounce back before they start running ads for “Buy now, pay later” Xbox consoles—which sounds like a slippery slope to a gamer’s nightmare! Fingers crossed they’re investing in actual health metrics and not just the ability to survive on ramen noodles!
