According to Venturebeat, around 30% of Microsoftâs video game testers have been shown the door, so if your next Microsoft Games Studio game is buggy as hell, least youâll know why. Venturebeat also say that come next week, thereâll be a management restructure.
Which had better involve the triumphant return of J Allard. To light the game groupâs darkest hour.
In addition to these, weâve also heard that there have been sackings at the Games for Windows group, though at this stage the number of affected remains unclear.
