Der Seite gamefile.news<\/a> wurde in dieser Woche wohl eine von Phil Spencer an die Gaming-Abteilung von Microsoft verfasste E-Mail zugespielt. In dieser Nachricht enth\u00fcllt Spencer, dass es weitere Entlassungen in dieser Sparte geben muss. Scheinbar m\u00f6chte Microsoft insgesamt 650 weitere Mitarbeiter aus dem Xbox-Team entlassen, die haupts\u00e4chlich zu dem Aufgebot von Activision Blizzard geh\u00f6rten.<\/p>\n

Die Entlassungen bei Activision Blizzard wirken sich dabei dann wohl haupts\u00e4chlich auf die Mitarbeiter der allgemeinen Unternehmensstruktur und des Supports f\u00fcr gewisse Projekte aus. Zus\u00e4tzlich dazu wurden Mitglieder des Teams f\u00fcr Warcraft Rumble entlassen, weil das Spiel von der Lauch-Phase in den allgemeinen Betrieb \u00fcbergegangen ist und daher weniger Leute ben\u00f6tigt. Das Team rund um Call of Duty Warzone Mobile wurde scheinbar ebenfalls deutlich reduziert. Laut der E-Mail basieren diese K\u00fcndigungen auf dem allgemeinen „Lebensrhythmus von Spielen“ und den „wechselnden Priorit\u00e4ten“ des Publishers.<\/p>\n

F\u00fcr Microsoft stellt dieses Ereignis die zweite gr\u00f6\u00dfere Welle an K\u00fcndigungen des Jahres 2024 dar. Bereits im Januar wurden ca. 1900 Mitarbeiter aus verschiedenen Bereichen entlassen. W\u00e4hrend die damaligen Entlassungen aber mehr mit der Umstrukturierung nach der \u00dcbernahme von Activision Blizzard zusammenhingen, so scheinen diese neuen K\u00fcndigungen aber eher auf der schlechten Leistung von Spielen und der Streichung unn\u00f6tiger Stellen zu basieren. Trotzdem sind K\u00fcndigungen innerhalb solch eines Unternehmens nat\u00fcrlich immer ein eher unsch\u00f6nes Thema.<\/p>\n

Subject: Changes to Microsoft Gaming<\/p>\n

For the past year, our goal has been to minimize disruption while welcoming new teams and enabling them to do their best work. As part of aligning our post-acquisition team structure and managing our business, we have made the decision to eliminate approximately 650 roles across Microsoft Gaming\u2014mostly corporate and supporting functions\u2014to organize our business for long term success.<\/p>\n

I know that this is difficult news to hear. We are deeply grateful for the contributions of our colleagues who are learning they are impacted. In the US, we\u2019re supporting them with exit packages that include severance, extended healthcare, and outplacement services to help with their transition; outside the US packages will differ according to location.<\/p>\n

With these changes, our corporate and supporting teams and resources are aligned for sustainable future growth, and can better support our studio teams and business units with programs and resources that can scale to meet their needs. Separately, as part of running the business, there are some impacts to other teams as they adapt to shifting priorities and manage the lifecycle and performance of games. No games, devices or experiences are being cancelled and no studios are being closed as part of these adjustments today.<\/p>\n

Throughout our team\u2019s history, we have had great moments, and we have had challenging ones. Today is one of the challenging days. I know that going through more changes like this is hard, but even in the most trying times, this team has been able to come together and show one another care and kindness as we work to continue delivering for our players. We appreciate your support as we navigate these changes and we thank you for your compassion and respect for each other.<\/p>\n
