Xbox is offering voluntary severance agreements to producers, quality assurance testers and other staff at ZeniMax as part of a broader cost-cutting initiative
Wow it’s almost like buying up half the gaming industry and then producing literally nothing wasn’t a great idea.
broader cost cutting
They’re just stripping everything down to save money, as every company that ever buys another company does.
This was entirely predictable (plus, they purchase IP, not people).
Shutting down entire studios should not be a part of normal cost saving.
Agreed, but it certainly seems to be.
Welp, reckon it’s time I take my happy ass down to the local used game store and sell my Xbox. Thing’s collecting dust anyway. I think I’ll get a new camera lens instead.
Why are they targeting Zenimax so heavily, don’t they have 50 other acquisitions they can suck the blood from
Give it a year. Thankfully Toys for Bob was able to buy themselves out, otherwise surely they would have either been shut down or put to work in the Call of Duty mines.
