Microsoft CEO Calls Xbox 'Streamlining' Great to See Amid Mounting Layoffs

Satya Nadella sparks controversy by labeling the aggressive workforce reductions at Xbox as a positive step for the division's efficiency.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has come under fire for describing the current restructuring at Xbox as 'great to see' following a series of significant job cuts. This 'streamlining' process, led by executive Asha Sharma, recently resulted in 268 additional layoffs, adding to the 1,600 positions eliminated earlier this year. While the remarks are interpreted as a strategic effort to signal business health to shareholders and protect stock prices, the phrasing has been criticized for being detached from the human impact of the downsizing. The move highlights Microsoft's push to optimize its gaming sector despite the loss of talent and studio closures.
