>The round of layoffs from MS this time around is hens finally coming home to roost and likely the end of this "let them cook" mentality that has haunted MS as a studio and publisher for like a decade.
I can sort of agree with this but you aren't exactly going to ship good games or have control over a bunch of studios if you completely obliterate them. canceling projects that are development hell is one thing, kneecapping basically every studio you own is another thing entirely and is not at all conductive towards making good products. especially when MS as a business is almost entirely propped up by office software and cloud services. they could easily eat the cost of all that dev time and start over but with a more hands on approach, but they're doing the embracer thing of acquiring studios and IPs to do jack shit with then shuttering the studios they bought out in the first place.
