Doom Dev Slams Xbox After Layoffs Gut id Software
The fallout from Microsoft's brutal layoffs continues. Chris Hays, a lead services programmer at Doom developer id Software, has publicly blasted Xbox leadership in the wake of July's cuts.
According to IGN, Hays stated that Xbox executives "fundamentally don't understand art." The comments come after layoffs reportedly "gutted" the storied studio, known for pioneering first-person shooters.
The broadside highlights the deep frustration among developers at Xbox-owned studios. It’s a stark contrast to the corporation's public image as a patron of creative gaming.
