Pixel Carnage: Xbox’s Summer Massacre

In this brutally honest (and unfiltered) episode of Gamer Chronicles, we dive headfirst into the July 2025 Microsoft Xbox layoffs — a corporate shitshow that left thousands of developers jobless, fan-favorite games cancelled, and the future of Xbox murkier than a Fallout vault.

We’re talking:

🔥 9,000+ layoffs across Microsoft, with Xbox absolutely gutted💀 Studios shut down (RIP The Initiative, Romero Games funding)🎮 Cancelled games (Perfect Dark, Everwild, and more — gone forever)🧠 Microsoft’s “strategic realignment” (translation: bullshit corporate spin)💣 Fallout from fans, devs, and Phil Spencer’s awkward Sad Dad memo🌍 How the entire gaming industry is on fire (EA, Sony, Embracer, Unity — you name it, they’re laying off)🎯 What this all means for the future of Xbox, Game Pass, and gaming in general

Expect sarcasm. Expect profanity. Expect truth bombs.
Because we’re not pulling punches — we’re calling out the bastards.
