Is the 'reset' in gaming just the beginning for MSFT?

Reading between the lines of the gaming division 'reset' and the significant layoffs, I can't help but wonder what this means for the rest of Microsoft. They're talking about cost-cutting and restructuring, and while gaming is getting the spotlight, are other divisions also bracing for impact? I saw a mention of AI potentially affecting entry-level hiring elsewhere, which is concerning. This feels like more than just a gaming shake-up. It feels like a broader strategic shift. Anyone else in different departments feeling the pressure or hearing whispers about future reorganizations? Trying to gauge the overall health and direction of the company beyond just the Xbox news.

The gaming layoffs definitely seem like a symptom of a larger corporate reevaluation. It's not uncommon for major tech companies to make strategic pivots, and sometimes that involves trimming areas that aren't performing to expectations, or ones where they see less future growth. It’s possible they’re refocusing resources on more profitable or cutting-edge sectors. I wouldn't be surprised if we see similar belt-tightening or restructuring in other divisions soon, especially if they're looking to consolidate power or investment into specific, high-potential markets. It's a tough environment out there.
