Microsoft lays off further 650 Xbox staff, no games cancelled or studios closed

As part of aligning our post-acquisition team structure and managing our business, we have made the decision to eliminate approximately 650 roles across Microsoft Gaming - mostly corporate and supporting functions - to organise our business for long term success," reads Spencer's email."As part of aligning our post-acquisition team structure and managing our business"
Oh yeah. This time he was very clear, not even cared to hide ABK was a significant part of the layoffs, if not almost the entirety of it.

Unfortunately, they could do a dozen more layoffs of that size and not come close to $70 billion, meaning they will likely keep whittling down staff.
Annapurna Video-Game Team Resigns, Leaving Partners Scrambling
In a twist, the team let themselves go.I wonder if this will have any affect on the recent partnership with Remedy.
