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
I'm more and more convinced these days that long term development games in big studios are a funding scam and they have zero intention of releasing anything worthwhile.
It's not the fact that there are completely legalised tech scammers in these industries that's amazing it's the sheer scale of it all. It wasn't an exaggeration back when people were poking at this problem that it was basically 1 - 2 guys doing the real work while the rest are just pushing papers at a minimum.
I don't know what exactly has set this trend off it's very curious, but the executives have clearly decided enough is enough and are cutting the dead weight. They're not doing it because they're going non-woke though or anything like that, I have to wonder if they think they can replace most of these people with AI or something. I seriously doubt that will translate well to the games industry. You could get away with it in journalism because they're a bunch of actual NPCs anyway.
The weirdest shit is how many of these companies seem to also be faking growth which I think is clearly a reason for the amount of employee bloat they all have with very little real work being done. All these unproductive wokesters are going to get a massive slap in the face.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
That's a good point.
Microsoft has not produced anything of value since 2009, good riddance.
Oh no!
...anyway
Well good thing don't support Microsoft or blizzard, they both should die and take all their IPs with them, into oblivion.
So.. gamepass isnt that profitable??
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%.
