Microsoft is expected to lay off a lot of employees on July 6. We don’t have full transparency into the numbers yet, and we probably won’t even hear that or the full circumstances behind the layoffs even after Monday.
The game industry is pretty dark these days when it comes to transparency. But I think there are plenty of reasons for the company to hold back.

This is exclusive GB MAX content. Members get full transcripts, in-depth analysis, and access to the conversations shaping the gaming industry — the stuff that doesn’t make the free feed.
