I imagine that Xbox knew of these layoffs months ago
The weird fanboy nonsense they’ve pulled these last 100 days is because they knew the brand would not survive another Tango Gameworks-level disaster
Trick a couple Youtubers into saying “I’m feeling good about XBOX!” and then shut down 4 studios

It’s been weird seeing Xbox lean into parasocial relationships these last hundred days
Promising fans “the return of Xbox” and exclusives
Only for them to be clearly sunsetting the brand
Bizarre and unnecessary cruelty, even for a corporation
