Microsoft's frequent layoffs have caused strong dissatisfaction among game fans (Microsoft laid off 4,000 employees a few weeks ago and then laid off 9,000 more), and many Xbox players have decided to unsubscribe to Game Pass to boycott the company.
Players expressed their opinions on the well-known game forum Resetera.One of the popular posts suggests that you cancel your Game Pass membership.
Fans wrote: "Good words. Also, stop using Windows products if you can. There are many good posts on the forum about how to configure Linux. My subscription expires on October 30 and I don't plan to resubscribe, and while that means I'll lose access to the "Games with Gold" game, that's life."
This time, the player community is indeed worried about Microsoft's behavior and shows unprecedented seriousness to resist.Although not everyone will act immediately, a large number of users have expressed their willingness to unsubscribe, which is already very telling.
Microsoft's layoffs of 9,000 employees this time are shocking and reflecting the dilemma of the entire gaming industry.However, in this chaos, companies like CDPR (Polish Donkey) have stepped forward to provide positions for layoffs and invited them to participate in the development of "The Witcher 4" and "Cyberpunk 2077".
It is reported that the main reason why Xbox has carried out such a large-scale layoff is that it hopes to invest more resources in AI research and development, which further angered the player community.Although there are still more than 40 games in development on Xbox, reliable insiders revealed that there will be a new round of layoffs in the future, and these game projects may also be affected by this time.
Regarding Xbox layoffs, many players believe that executives who are keen on ideology are safe, but ordinary employees who work silently have become victims:
Fans: Players have been telling Xbox what they want and have been saving Xbox, but there are SG executives, and even gods can’t save them.
Some fans also called on Xbox to leave Microsoft:
