Apparently we should all take a moment to think about how hard this is for Phil Spencer during this tough time:My default assumption for every CEO of a large company like this is that they're a sociopath, so pardon me if I'm not exactly willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

There are laws in Japan that prevent this.Well if that's the case I hope they never abolish it. Good morale leads to a better work environment and generally better games.

Well if that's the case I hope they never abolish it. Good morale leads to a better work environment and generally better games.That's the exact reason Nintendo gave when they chose to slash the salaries of the top brass instead of laying off workers when they were in financial trouble during the Wii U era.
Sony closes studios it created, nobody cares.
It's annoying that MS buys studios then closes them, could've just left them the fuck alone in that case.

LOL Sony never buys existing studios and close them later right?

MS bought Zenimax mainly for Bethesda and ID, and Arkane and Tango are more of a bonus. Tango's games reviewed well but did not translate to sales, even with the early PS5 timed exclusivity. It makes sense from a business perspective to cut your losses.
Phil isn't the CEO. He was probably ordered by CEO via Shareholders to make cuts.When I googled his name to check this is the first thing that came up.
