'I cannot do my job when Microsoft refuses to do theirs', say Xbox union workers as destructive reset looms from a company that spent over $80 billion on AI last year

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella speaking on stage.

Microsoft's likely got another wave of layoffs and studio closures coming, it's my displeasure to say—with multiple studios on the chopping block. It's another pip in a pattern of scattershot project cancellations and studio closures, in the same vein as the company shutting down Project Blackbird despite Phil Spencer loving it, or closing Tango Gameworks despite Hi-Fi Rush being touted as a success.

Basically, for Microsoft (and the wider industry at large) there's no real guarantee that good work will keep you in a job. And union members at the Communications Workers of America (CWA) spoke out in a press call (shared here by GamesBeat).
