Earlier this month: Beware the Microsoft Spin in Microsoft- and Bill Gates-Funded 'Media' (the Real News is More Layoffs at Microsoft, Revealed This Month and Definitely Not a Prank)
Latest: (reports are a few hours old)
> Layoffs and studio closures continue to hit the video game industry hard. In the first four months of the year, the numbers are very alarming and almost equal to last year. Apparently, a whole division of a company will close for good.
> Bethesda France, is another victim of this crisis. Even with the success of the Fallout TV show, it seems that is not enough, and the studio decided to close this country subsidiary. This team was working on Fallout and The Elder Scrolls Online. The news was confirmed by a French streamer on X.
> The tech giant recently terminated its contract for nearly 40,000 square feet at the Perimeter Four building on Carrington Mill Boulevard. And it has another nearly 40,000 square feet available for sublease in the office park.
> Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) declined to answer questions about the move. Nor would it say how many employees it currently has in the region, though two years ago public records showed it had more than 2,500 workers in the state.
Microsoft is shutting down more offices (there have been layoffs every month this year). If you aren't hearing much - or not seeing anything at all - about this matter, well... that's a symptom of media failing to do its job.
