As someone who has had this happen twice (get taken over - don't need 2 qc departments), this is awful.
But, it's not uncommon after a merger.

He mentions that MS can still outsource those jobs but I would put money on this being the last Xbox (and maybe Playstation) with a disc drive. microsoft have been pushing for digital only consoles for at least 13 years, I worked in games retail from 2007 to 2022 and had multiple managers tell me that was microsoft's vision of the future and that it was inevitable it would happen. it sucks that this is the way gaming is going as I have a few physical copies of games that you cannot buy digitally for various reasons.

More layoffs, and while it's not fully confirmed, it's believed Toys For Bob is being shut down.

Confirmation now that Toys For Bob is safe from this purge.
