Jacob Navok – the CEO behind Silent Hill: Ascension streamer Genvid, and former Square Enix business director – believes that Microsoft's latest round of crushing layoffs came from a power struggle with AI technology that's currently reshaping the entire video game industry.
"The game industry is facing a fundamental realignment," Navok writes in a lengthy Twitter thread. "This is not a passing storm. It is a change in the forces that stitched the industry," which is now being held together by the more individualistic, flexible experiences offered by platforms like Roblox, Fortnite, and GTA Online.
