Apparently there's another round happening this week:

 

[SimTourist]

Please be Greenberg

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Ninja Theory?

 

[SHA]

HMPH!!!

 

[GigaBowser]

[kikkis]

Can't wait for the layoffs, once ms starts mismanage call of duty.

 

[SJRB]

Apparently there's another round happening this week:

If they just fire everyone with people hair and pronouns in their bio I’m actually pretty okay with it.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

I love how Xbox goodwill after the ‘E3 win’ lasted for less than a month.

 

[lh032]

Microsoft is doing another layoff to prepare for the rumored upcoming Japan Publisher acquisition.
Big brainsoft.

 

[Moriarty1889]

Knowing MS, they will keep those people and fire everyone else.

 

[TheBomb]

Microsoft to me their goal is buy as many trademarks, and get rid of the staff. It’s like if we can’t have it. No one will!

 

[JTCx]

Defense force will fall back on the "E3" win.

Hopefully selling ninja theory off. When will the western game devs organize and protest or riot against satanic baby inc. Things won't improve for them when SBI holds so much power in the western gaming industry. This might be the first time ever in gaming that a game dev would rather work in Russia or china than in the US.

Apparently there's another round happening this week:

(She/her) has a twathandle

Edit: and nothing of fucking value was lost.
She should try working for sweet baby
Looks like a dream match

Cutting the fat again. MS just getting diced to the socks for the summer.

I second this. It seems to be the case.

 

[OppaiNinja]

Another diversity hire bites the dust. Just as Pride Shite month ended. Quite ironic with all the corpo BS during that insufferable month.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

I still can't understand what her position was about.

But it is July before quarterly report, so that's expected. The bigger question if they close any XGS studios or not. Probably not.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Ninja Theory:

 

[Heisenberg007]

Defense force will fall back on the "E3" win.

Didn't realize that showing the same games that were shown 4 years ago, which are still without release dates by the way, is considered a "win" these days.

 

[Moriarty1889]

What an absolute moron. Good riddance. Maybe MS is finally realizing that pronouns and pink and purple haired nut jobs aren’t the answer anymore.

 

[Moriarty1889]

Well said and agree 100%.

 

[nush]

So far one person. Was her role really eliminated or was she actually fired?

Twitter being the bastion of truth and all...

 

[Gojiira]

If they just fire everyone with people hair and pronouns in their bio I’m actually pretty okay with it.

Thats all Xbox has…Hence all the shitty games they put out…

 

[Jose92]

And this person has a PHD. Honestly academia has gone to shit.

Being book smart doesn't mean you actually smart, this is an example of a dumb person whom is highly qualified.

 

[IDKFA]

[MayauMiao]

And this person has a PHD.

In gender studies?

Glass houses and all that jazz....

[acm2000]

i see no one in this thread bothered to look at what role she was leaving.

"DIVERSITY ROLES BLAH WHAT A JOKE!!!"
"MICROSOFT LAYOFFS WTF"

make your mind up

 

[UltimaKilo]

Looks like Microsoft might finally be turning things around!

 

[BattleScar]

You people are actually fucking insane.
Celebrating people getting fired now? Fucking go outside. Or perhaps actually play some videogames.

Fuck this post. I don't pay $5 a month to have a life. Miss me with that shit

Console wars are serious business. Imagine being that attached to a console that you celebrate people losing their jobs.

 

[KungFucius]

You are OK with people losing their jobs and putting their families through financial stress because they put pronouns in their profile or color their hair. That is fucking disgusting.

[winjer]

Microsoft really is on a killing spree. The EA for a new generation.

 

[Black_Stride]

Its pretty much a corpo mandate to put pronouns in bios for easy identification......you dont want to accidentally say She when the person identifies as a He or They or whatever (its effectively getting in before the problem, misgendering someone even on Twitter can cause so much unnecessary backlash that its easier to just know what the person wants to be called and keep it at that)
As for controlling colored hair..........mate, that crazier than the people on team woke who you think are trying to thought police you.

We'd also be losing one of the baddest baddies in GameDev who always colors her hair.
Thick Thighs Save Lives should be proud.

You can reverse image search if you want to find her.

 

[nemiroff]

Is a one-person wave layoff really going to rock the boat here..?

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

 

[The Pleasure]

Every time I see Phil Spender shutting down another game company, I imagine Phil's final message being something like this

 

[draliko]

Are we really defending psychos now? I'm pleased to see crazy ppl get the shaft... They (the purple haired) managed to fire more ppl with their stupidness shit so fuck em...

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Quite ironic with all the corpo BS during that insufferable month.

It's pretty standard to give your company thirty days to work your notice..

 

[MasterCornholio]

Being trans myself this is stupid.

-face palm-

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Being trans myself this is stupid.

-face palm-

It's got nothing to do with being trans though, I've known trans people who would have been against such thought.

This is taught and ingrained. This has been going on for years and if you notice, it's always the exact same phrases.

 

[mitch1971]

How the hell can a company terminate someone on holi....

oh.
