the combined powers of Microsoft's 22k-strong Gaming Division have to be denuded to the tune of 1,900 human beings. That amounts to about 8% of the division.
- "have to be"
  
  Balmer needs them dividends, bruh! /s
they saw palworld and enshrouded and knew they couldnt compete
- It's depressing and hilarious because the execs who decided this most likely have no idea about Palworld (yet) because they're completely ootl while the dev team most definitely did at the time. Oh well maybe the team can stick together and form a Pocketpair US division as a cherry ontop.
  
  They'd still have to start over from nothing after 7 years of development wouldn't they? I think Microsoft would still own the project even though it was cancelled.
- Blizzard games haven't been able to compete in genre for over a decade.
- Wut can't compete with some dudes in a basement saving alphas and betas game versions on multiple pen drives???
