Microsoft has brought in a “creative content coach” in preparation for Steve Ballmer’s big CES keynote on January 5.
Chet Logothestian, a self confessed content coach, has been hired by the software giant to help Steve Ballmer make the most of his CES keynote next week. Ballmer is expected to unveil a number of new Windows based Slate devices including a future device that runs on a new version of Windows that supports ARM chips. Logothestian is due to meet with Ballmer tomorrow to “coach” the less than shy CEO.
Phil Spencer has sent a letter out to employees informing them that 650 jobs would be cut from Microsoft's gaming division.
The original story is from IGN as they are the ones who got the memo.

Still sucks!
A combined $80 billion spent on consolidating a massive part of the industry, thousands fired all to line the pockets of the already wealthy and turn the gaming industry into a rental service.
FU MS.
Not sure about the rest of the world, but here in Brazil we have a say that goes like this:
'May the last one to leave please turn off the lights'
What the heck is MS even doing right now?
Shaz from GL: “Amidst recent concerns surrounding Xbox, Phil and Co. need a win. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be it.”
Not worried about facial animations , but I do hope the gameplay is fun . Most definitely I will purchase this on PS5, if the gameplay is fun .
nice hit piece. I notice the writer didn't mention any of the journalists / creators who had good things to say. From what i hear, it has riddick: escape from butcher bay in its DNA. To me that sounds like something to be Optimistic about rather than pessimistic.
It’s odd to have a first person perspective for an adventure game with stealth and brawling. But’s not without precedent. Wolfenstein: New Order and Wolfenstein: New Colossus had a lot of adventure game elements. They were in the league of the greatest games ever, but they were both fun games. Indy looks fun too.
Yes, Indy looks like Todd Howard. Something feels way too off.
Microsoft apologizes to Jyamma Games for communication issues causing an Xbox delay of Enotria: The Last Song.
Yadda, yadda, yadda they always apologize and never learn their lesson. Expect more stories of MS miscommunication.
Same song different dance it's always the same with this company.
The developers of Enotria should beg forgiveness from Microsoft instead. On their knees.
Only because it was in the news what about all the other Devs they ignore daily words are cheaper I guess
I’ve never even heard of this game before this debacle. Not that I side with Microsoft’s horrendous handling of every situation, but the drama sort of gave this game publicity.
Firing internal support and delegating to external agencies and personnel takes time... well... takes time or ruins the company. What will happen here?
-_-
Nobody likes a copy cat!
There is only one Kevin butler
First slim now this next up Uncharted clone!
This is sad if MS has to follow in the footsteps of Sony. What a difference a year made.
