Just a day before Microsoft axed 9,000 of its employees, the company met with John Romero's studio, Romero Games, and remained silent on the planned cuts. Microsoft does not own Romero Games, but did provide significant funding, which has now been pulled.
After Microsoft cut its funding, John and Brenda Romero's studio is officially shutting down, per a report by TheJournal, (via PC Gamer). Over 100 people are now out of a job, the report claims. This comes as a result of Microsoft's recent layoffs which affected some 9,000 people across the company, seemingly to open up funds for more AI investment, which amounts to around $80 billion total.
