Yooo! It's #GamingNewsRecap Day. This week Xbox announced it will lay off 3200 people and part ways with 5 studios, PlayStation went back to social media after 5 days and got stomped and Cygames announced Project Awakening is still in the works. 4 pages:

My wife and I watch AGDQ and SGDQ every year. It fills us with so much joy to watch these runners breaking games in exciting new ways while donations flood in every year. Could not recommend watching more!

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has been named as an advisor to the US Federal Reserve on 'Productivity and Jobs'. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/xbox-ce...

This is now the FIFTH major round of layoffs at Xbox since the company spent almost $70B on Activision Blizzard in 2023. Another 3,200 livelihoods on the chopping block. Another deafening sucker punch for everybody at the company. Another stream of tone deaf excuses. Where is the accountability?

Xbox cutting 3,200 jobs and parting ways with Double Fine, Compulsion, Ninja Theory, and Undead Labs

The whole rumors and reporting was probably in MS favor since I see a lot of comments saying "Oh I thought it would be worse". No, this shit still sucks. Fucking incompetent managment.

BREAKING: Xbox will cut 3,200 jobs as part of a major reorganization, and divest from five studios: - Compulsion and Double Fine will go indie - Ninja Theory and Undead Labs will be sold - Arkane to enter consultation process Here's the full story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Microsoft’s Xbox to Cut 3,200 Jobs, Divest Five Studios in Major Overhaul

What in the actual fuck is this nonsense?

Me for the Bulwark about the human cost of USAID cuts “Every one of those children had a name. They had dreams, loves, and futures. Their lives were as valuable and special as your child’s or mine. They were loved, and somewhere, their families grieve for them” www.thebulwark.com/p/yes-the-cu...

Yes, the Cuts to USAID Have Killed

Elon Musk dismisses the human toll of the Trump administration’s gutting U.S. foreign aid—but it’s real and it’s measurable.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

This is also why, say, they don't immediately start working on a new Pikmin. Because the dude who does the 3D modeling of the items is currently working on like Mario Kart. And keeping all those people employed feels more important than putting out a new Pikmin.

You know what Nintendo does when they have a surplus set of devs from cancellations or production ending? Put them on other projects. The ability to redeploy headcount while keeping teams together over time is like, the main strategic benefit of scale in the game industry

Yo! It's #GamingNewsRecap Day! This week in video games, Bungie and Sony laid off the whole Destiny team, a Xbox Series S costs now as much as a Xbox Series X at launch and Kojima still don't want to tell us what OD actually is. 5 Pages:

Big congratulations to @velanstudios.bsky.social & Nintendo of America on today's launch of Star Fox! We're proud to have programmed the original 1993 game & designed the Super FX chip powering it. Amazing to see Fox, Falco, Peppy & Slippy still flying. Do a celebratory barrel roll, team!

Jon and I played the "best" Donkey Kong Country and we had slightly differing opinions on the game! Did we think it was a Rent, Buy, or Don't Try? You will need to listen to find out :P

That’s cool. Did your CEO and other executive level employees also take commensurate pay cuts to ensure future sustainability?

🚀 Why does Star Fox 64 keep getting remade? It's not because players NEED to start here or that Nintendo can't make a better on-rails shooter. It's definitely not 'dev practice' Star Fox is a game about replaying and seeing something familiar from a new angle! MY CRUSH: kotaku.com/my-crush-on-...

Suraj has a point.

Britain is arresting people, including an 83-year-old retired priest, for holding signs. Somehow the people loudest about a UK "free speech crisis" are silent. Funny how that works. New piece: www.readtpa.com/p/you-can-go...

How a 'Whitest Kids U' Know' bit went from the Supreme Court to a Channel 5 daytime show, and what the UK is actually doing to people holding cardboard signs.
