微软游戏部门裁员30%并将重组

Yesterday Microsoft announced that its Entertainment and Devices Division (EDD) saw sales increase slightly as the company sold through a record six million Xbox 360s during its holiday quarter. Profits were down, however, and the 1,400 immediate job cuts (out of a planned 5,000 at Microsoft) may have hit EDD pretty hard, according to ZDNet, which claims that the "bulk" of these cuts was on EDD.

The division houses the Zune, Windows Mobile and PC gaming businesses in addition to Xbox. It's unclear to what extent Xbox specifically will be affected or how the cuts might affect product development. That said, the Gamerscore blog has ceased operations and multiple members of the blog have confirmed (via Twitter) that they'd been laid off.

Additionally, Gamasutra has learned that a large portion of the staff at ACES Studio, which develops the Flight Simulator franchise, has been axed. The studio was also working on Microsoft Train Simulator 2 and was responsible for Microsoft ESP, a unique "visual simulation platform" based on Flight Simulator X technology. The future of these product lines remains up in the air.

Update: Dean Takahashi at VentureBeat has word that 30 percent of Microsoft's video game testers have been cut. And the veteran journalist states that next week the game group is expected to undergo a management restructuring. What this means for Shane Kim, Phil Spencer, Don Mattrick and others we don't yet know, but we'll be sure to bring you the news as it happens.

联想前几天的新闻
太欢乐了

果然是把兩個拖油瓶給踢掉了

战神尴尬了

膀胱饭你好！膀胱饭再见！

口吃爱好者你好，口吃爱好者再见

真可悲

看来楼主在A9没看回帖..r5:

“Dean Takahashi at VentureBeat has word that 30 percent of Microsoft's video game testers have been cut. ”
LZ看清楚了这句吗？微软是裁掉30%的是游戏测试人员，不是整个部门裁30% 。而且这则新闻说来说去就是裁掉的是pc上的飞行模拟游戏开发组。而且这种所谓的裁员还是建立将Zune, Windows Mobile 和PC 游戏整合进xbox部门的基础上。（ The division houses the Zune, Windows Mobile and PC gaming businesses in addition to Xbox）

ff眼中的兩段紅字標示處意義相等，意即
1.微軟遊戲部門都是遊戲測試人員
2.微軟娛樂事業部僅有XBOX業務



大過年的想在春晚前搏點版面，用心良苦眾人皆知
