I know this is a controversial topic to bring up, but it is one I feel I need to discuss following recent reports and rumors in the gaming industry as a whole, from publishers, indie game makers, and beyond.
This topic comes from the recent report that Microsoft is planning to do more major job cuts at the Xbox Gaming Division, a fourth time in as little as 18 months, which feels like the decline, if not death, of a titan that once ruled the industry with its consoles and games. On top of all the other cuts and job losses we have seen, whether it's other publishers, websites like Polygon seeing its near-entire staff let go, and other places shut completely. It really doesn't boost any motivation, I'll tell you that.
