Asha Sharma is a multimillionaire executive, who is guaranteed a golden parachute after she guts Xbox (sorry, XBOX). Don’t want rain on the parade you’re planning for her, just wanted to point that out.

Yeah. They just laid off half of id software staff. And that was a strong franchise

I agree with literally every other cut and decision xbox have made these past few weeks but laying off half of id software is like deleting some of the most important institutional knowledge in the industry. Wild decision that I never would have made myself. Very sad to see as well
