That post is a parody account making fun of the companies doing the layoffs.

It's a good parody account then These days it can be hard to tell the difference sadly.

These days, if you don't understand a parody, you get arrested and thrown in jail.*

*that's a slightly altered Stewart Lee joke posted as a parody btw. Nobody is going to jail just for that because the jails are too full of English people.

Why are English people in jail?

For saying they are English.

I have not

That's your biggest mistake right there

Bloody games studios! Coming over here and making good games!

My name is Phil Spencer and I believe the brightest and best game studios should get bought out by MS and gooseberry fool canned instead of staying independent and making things that are better than anything our own studios could even dream of.

Was tempted to buy the collection when they were down to about £5 on the Switch, but I know they'd have probably never got played :lol:

Oh Phil, you and your XXXL logo T-shirts and carefully curated shelf. It's like you're my friend because I use your first name and everything :wub:

Two weeks before Shinji Mikami jumped ship.

Tango'd

All that money wasted on food when it could have gone to the shareholders.

More ruthless than James.

That is strawberry floating brutal

Oh gooseberry fool, I only just noticed it was Sarah Bond making that comment. That's strawberry floating evil, she would've surely known at that point.

It was two weeks before he started his new studio, but he’d left Tango the year before.

Mmmmmmm, words.

It says President of Xbox, Microsoft, but is she really in charge though...probably not. Send out some talking head to spout a load of meaningless drivel while the real decision makers are nowhere to be found.

She'd make a great politician.

The big sigh :lol:

Sarah, blink if you're in trouble.

It's incredible really how politicians and business execs can waffle on for so long without actually saying anything.
