@44F0rc3 No one cares about Gears being exclusive dude. Nothing from yesterday was about that, you're straw-manning the real arguement. Xbox is a mismanaged disaster that is now causing thousands of peoples jobs. THATS what we care about. Not your autistic need to have a win.

And there you have it! FUD was rampant yesterday and doom and gloomers ate from the engagement. 💚🎮😏👌🏾

@deceptacon16 @Polygon @asha_shar @ballmatthew @XBOX Btw, the "good" he's referring to is holding Caps Lock when typing Xbox. That's it.

@Polygon @asha_shar @ballmatthew it doesn’t matter what good you do, they will turn on you in a second. These so call journalists aren’t your friends. They hate the @XBOX brand and love nothing more to see it dead and gone. XBOX has been taking this abuse for far too long.

Microsoft should sell Xbox before it ruins everything polygon.com/xbox-microsoft…

@TheBigPlume I know! People are so dumb! Like, its never coming! They said the same with Starfield as well! People just dont understand that you need an Xbox to play Starfield. Starfield, which was touted as a full, never ending exclusive, stayed that way. so dumb!

XBOX Should just hire a full time rumor debunker

@JBishie Oh boy, here comes Xbox’s biggest janitor here to sweep for the multibillion dollar corporation. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER COMPANIES he’ll scream. Refusing to ever criticize his precious green console.

Layoffs are an unfortunate inevitability when a company goes through major restructuring. But the catastrophizing from industry pundits rings hollow. Most of it amounts to faux concern. And the proof is simple enough: you don’t see the same level of hand‑wringing when Embracer, Sony, or Ubisoft make similar decisions. Some argue that Microsoft’s size warrants heightened scrutiny, but larger companies cast longer shadows. People project expectations onto it, so any misstep is treated as a breach of an unwritten social contract rather than a routine business correction. What we’re seeing now isn’t a principled defence of workers or studios. It’s about engagement. Outrage drives clicks, and many of these reactions reflect that incentive far more than any genuine concern for the people affected.

@ChrissieMayr @the_cats_meowww Holy shit you look 80 years old in this clip

NIGHTMAYR staring momentarily with Jay Johnston & @the_cats_meowww TUNE IN! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@44F0rc3 I don’t think anyone is crying about not owning an Xbox 🤣

This is why folks that don't want to buy an XBOX console cry.💚🎮😏👌🏾

@ZakkenKloot “How come no journalists wrote about it” Links an article from a games journalism website.

When it’s XBOX DEAD, everybody got rumors all of a sudden. Why no one of the journalists knew about Bluepoint

@CMoney4Ever But Xbox fans, you included, championed everything Phil did. For years, you told everyone that gobbling up half the industry was smart. You glazed all these games that made no money. Don’t rewrite history. You all co-signed everything. That’s why we don’t trust any of you.

They weren't bought by Asha, they were bought by Phil. THIS is what these so called "XBOX fans" ASKED for smh. They want to go back to the 360 times, you know, when we ONLY HAD HALO, GEARS, AND FORZA! Dumb AF.

@ZakkenKloot Oh you wont have to worry about it. No matter what way this goes, Ninja theory is no longer first party. The only reason any of you even cared about Hellblade is because it was first party.

Senua still coming out or what?

@kidsmoove @XBOX Oh you wont have to worry about it. No matter what way this goes, Ninja theory is no longer first party. The only reason any of you even cared about Hellblade is because it was first party.

So is Senua still coming out? @XBOX

@MickyLafferty @xMBGx Because the Doom renaissance is already over. Doom 2016 was an achievement in reviving the series. Eternal took that gameplay and refined it. But Dark Ages underperformed, and was met with a lot of "its more Doom!" I would love for id to stick around FWIW.

@xMBGx Huh? Why would they shut down ID software?

@ZakkenKloot Agreed! I wouldnt mind seeing every single person at those studios homeless! I can sleep much better at night knowing that PS5 people cant play Gears! Sorry Compulsion, NT, and Double Fine, just know that your sacrifice is for the greater good!

We’re back in the “XBOX is Dead” phase Doesn’t change the fact, That Gears of War: E-Day will N E V E R come to PS5!! 🔥

I'm done with twitter for today the amount of ganging up on Xbox for trying to fix brand from so called journalists is pathetic behavior it's like Sony called them all in for a favor and shows a clear Xbox Tax there no way after today you can believe these biased asshats.

@ChrissieMayr I always wonder if blatantly racist pieces of shit like you are raising their children to be racist pieces of shit. I have to assume yes. It’s very sad and I hope your child turns out better than you did.

Maybe if they spent more time changing smoke detector batteries, they would have less time to commit senseless violent crime?

@K__Med Oh he actually does tell his brain dead fans just don’t care.

I hate to be the one to tell you this. Grummz is a grifting scam artist that stole over $500k from backers for a game he never finished. He just isn't telling you.

@Avi_Jey @ZakkenKloot My original response was to Kloot saying “as long as i get what i want, do what you gotta do” which is one of the most cruel, demented things I’ve seen. No one is happy, sure, but Xbox fanboys seem fine. Exclusives over people keeping their jobs? Pathetic behavior.

@Genuine_Snap @ZakkenKloot The past leadership is gone The new one needs to make the business healthy. They have a %3 margin bro. They would've made more money if they kept their cash in the bank. The business is fucked. Nobody is happy about people losing their job but they have to fix this shit ASAP

As long as they keep exclusivity & Game Pass Day-1, do whatever you gotta do Asha

@Avi_Jey @ZakkenKloot Yes, let’s be okay with layoffs because a bunch of executives made terrible choices. No one’s asking for charity. They’re literally asking to work. But Xbox leadership is broken and it’s the devs who have to pay for it. Then fanboys applaud it as good management. Grow up.

@Genuine_Snap @ZakkenKloot It ain't a charity dude And the country isn't communist

@Lil_Nightmare_ @ZakkenKloot Console warring on Twitter is all they have. These dudes tweet dozens of times a day, fighting with other grown men over what brand is better. It’s pathetic.

@Genuine_Snap @ZakkenKloot Its kinda insane some people are so focused on stupid console war shit that they can't rationally think.

@curatorgamingx All i see is that thousands are about to be laid off. I’m sorry that some stupid fake digital blood doesn’t erase that.

People will really see this and try to tell you XBOX isn’t back… #XBOX #GearsofWarEDay

@Jenbox360 Windows Central is the cancer of games journalism.

Asha isn't just trotted out to give us the good news, this is some cold hard reality. Refreshingly transparent, but for those working over at Xbox I'm so sorry you are having to worry over layoffs again 💚
