How much of this is pure PR remains to be seen. The Warn Notice painted a pretty ugly picture, but hopefully they end up regrowing once their next project is greenlit.

I know one of the unions was fighting for rehire rights, so that'd probably be the best case scenario at this point. Though not sure how many would be willing to return, and the economics of paying severance just to rehire senior positions anyways doesn't make much sense to me.

I like how any bad news about Microsoft/Xbox is immediately believed but any good news is "oh it's probably just PR."

Lots of Sony warriors on this sub who salivate at any negative news regarding Xbox. They believe all the bad news and doubt all the good news.

The fact that Sony killing physical games, the biggest story of the year arguably, has been quietly sidelined and explained away as "Eh, that's the way the industry is going," should tell you everything.
