Split Fiction XBox makes me curious: did someone at XBox just figured out that they need marketing?
A huge campaign for Avowed, custom XBox for soulful new games. It all looks exceptionally cool and may really affect the audience.

🤯 Microsoft hired David Fincher and Romain Chassaing to film a promo video for XBox: it features rats driving soviet cars and working on horrible dystopian jobs to become humans only by playing games… WUT?

Xbox "Wake Up" Brand Trailer
In Xbox’s Wake Up, directed by David Fincher and Romain Chassaing, a wonderfully off-beat fairy tale unfolds: Horatio, a rat, rekindles his humanity through the joy of gaming. We follow Horatio through a day in the rat race: a packed commute, the drudgery…

Microsoft is raising XBox prices (up to $80-100), and games prices will follow soon (they will cost $80 instead of $70).

XBox + Windows + Asus + AMD? A unique beast, but they made a white version with extremely slow CPU and people will confuse them all the time.

As it was previously told, Microsoft has begun firing people (again). It has about 20 000 people in gaming divisions and want to cut this workforce by thousands.
King, Bethesda, and many other companies are among these cuts. It's the fourth big wave of layoffs in the last 18 months.
The total cut among Microsoft's teams (beyond gaming) is expected to be around 9100 employees out of 228 000. They were already planning to cut 7000 people in May (and it's unclear if these are two cuts or an extension).

Apparently, Bethesda was working on the online game that was supposed to utilize the new engine they have created. But it all got cancelled today. They also shut down the team behind Forza Motorsport and some other projects. I see dozens and dozens of posts…
And here's the email from Phil Spencer: yeah, we make more money than ever, but it's all possible thanks to firing people who previously did a great job and helped us to establish this foothold in the industry. Very ugly phrasing, IMO.
