Hopefully that the ENTIRE woke side they just ditched. We'll know if a lot of managerial positions suddenly disappear.

The woke prefer to delegate than actually do work.

I am sorry to say that's not what is happening here.

Microsoft is an Indian company now. They are more than likely offshoring work to coding sweatshops.

You ain't kidding. I had a buddy that worked there almost 20 years ago and he complained that the Indians MS had imported on H1B visas to save salary costs had made it to management and all they did was hire more Indians.

It's probably fucking pajeet city by now. If you go to the mall in Bellevue it's all Indians and Asians walking around. You wouldn't think you were in America anymore.

so a small update about the blizzard survival game it has been in development since july of 2017 with nothing to show for it and the lead on it is about as much of a soy boy as you can get

So how many of these are productive tech people and how many are grifters? I'd extend this question to all the recent layoffs in tech.

They are doing worse than pushing papers, they are rigging the office with DEI IEDs, Any interaction a White man has can potentially end his career if he isn't sufficiently obsequious when he happens to cross the path of an intersectional who is in a mood.

The rumour is Msoft is going 3rd party

I don't fully believe it, but that is pretty good evidence.

They only just bought Activision/Blizzard, so I'd say this is them cutting out the pieces of their new purchase they didn't want.

Microsoft has not produced anything of value since 2009, good riddance.

I think it's more like, 1900 people were not needed to continue game pass. Look at how much fat Elon trimmed from X

To most companies, 1900 people is the entire staff, but to M$ it might be 2%.

It's amazing how survival is subgenre still mostly untapped by big studios. During the 14-18 survival game boo I heard rumors of AAA companies considering developing survival games, but none ever materialized. I'm glad this too never saw the light of day.
