Have you thought, that Microsoft is leaving Windows 10 to die, forcing cloud services, giving up on gaming, and so on.
With the current approach it will turn into a cloud company and completely refocus to B2B.
Steam Deck outsells XBox in several regions now 😐

Ubisoft created a tool to make 3D avatars from a single image: MoSAR. It will benefit from artistic polishing but allows skipping a lot of work.

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 like this on LinkedIn.

UPD: 1m done, more to go! Since the initiative will be checked, they need more people than just a million, they need a proven million.
Unity silently rolled-back the change, local projects are supported again (for now). They haven't explained the initial change, nor the fix. But looks like it was a dirty trick that didn't work out and they gave up.

Romero Games lost funding, Microsoft used to be their publisher (which wasn't announced before).

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.

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).

Unity is making one step forward and two steps back: making ALL PROJECTS cloud is the dumbest idea ever.
