I'm trying to find the KFGD episode from a few months ago where the news was that they hired a bunch of new Xbox Leadership and I said that they're gearing up for layoffs. It'll happen in June, it always does like clockwork

I think everyone was making the same prediction tbh. Years of middling success and Redfall level failures we all knew Phil was gonna be ousted and there would be closures. And I don’t like playing guessing games on people’s livelihood but compulsion, ninja theory, double fine would be the likeliest

I used the Evan Chaki appointment as a jumping off point (and looking back, idk if that was apt or not. I was just speculating on a podcast). But everything after that, I stand by. We gotta believe companies when they show you their patterns and tell you who they are.

Asha did say they were gearing up to cut studios but this felt like, Hunger games movie at this point. Also honest question but I saw on the “other” app that both Sony and Xbox collectively have shut down about 20 studios what does this say about the gaming landscape for devs coming into the fold?

It's so hard being an Xbox owner now. I have been since day 1. I even suffered through the Xbox One era. All of my digital library is on there, hundreds of games. Man do I hate what they are doing now. It also feels like the whole industry is in a bad place. At least I have my Switch 2.
