A leading online developer, id Software, who is still in the studio, has sharply criticized Xbox after the massive cuts.

According to him:

With the current number of employees it is impossible to make AAA games the level of the previous Doom. The studio has completely disappeared important departments and specialists. The claims that id Software remained the same are not true The team has been reduced by about half. The management issued a thesis about what can and cannot be said publicly. Employees are reassured that they should not be fired out of fear of the future of the studio. The team is now smaller than at the time of Doom 2016, although the requirements for game production have been higher. Game Pass has seriously damaged sales models: to evaluate the success of games only through injustice, as subscription cannibalize them. Xbox does not understand the art, business and game development process itself.

The publisher suggests that Microsoft may cut costs and staff to prepare individual studios for sale, rather than for further development of major AAA games. #game
