Hey Gamers!
It's been a roller-coaster lately in the gaming world, especially with the bombshell news coming from Microsoft. Yep, you heard it right – Microsoft's swinging the axe, cutting loose around 1900 employees from Xbox, Activision, and Blizzard. It's a real shocker, isn't it?
Sources are popping up everywhere, from The Verge to CNN Business, all reporting on the scoop. Here is a screenshot of an article from UK's BBC News.
Employees have turned to Twitter/X to share both their own departures and messages of support for their affected colleagues. It's been a touching display of solidarity within the gaming community, with individuals offering empathy and encouragement during this tough time.
Why did Microsoft lay off some of its employees? Well, whilst their lips area sealed experts think it's because they're trying to make the merger with Activision Blizzard go more smoothly. You know, when big companies team up, they often have to rearrange things and cut jobs that overlap, so everything runs better together.
While Microsoft's job cuts don't really hit us gamers in our own lives, they do make us think about what's happening in the gaming world. We're just here to play and have fun, but it's good to know what's happening behind the scenes.
