Microsoft has instructed Xbox social media accounts to go dark today, amid the layoffs. It's to avoid a repeat of "feel the burn" Xbox controller announcement during the last layoffs.
The layoffs will continue until the XBox sales improve
Edit: holy shit, just remembered that a fresh MS recruiter got in touch with me just a couple weeks ago for a term contract position on an XBox product. I'm guessing this is gonna be their new strategy: no more layoffs, just let the contracts expire! I don't need that kind of uncertainty in my life.
