World historic amounts of gamedev talent thrown out to rot

It's been difficult to think of much else today besides the massive Microsoft layoffs. They've been very obviously on the way, looming over us all since Asha Sharma was put in charge of the Xbox division; today, they laid off around 3200 people. They are spinning off or selling multiple studios, some of which will almost certainly experience their own layoffs in the near or medium-term future. Another equally massive Microsoft layoff is apparently on the way in the future as well. It's pretty fucking nuts! I am very worried for my friends! There is a never-before-seen glut of experienced, highly senior talent just lying around right now, like cuts of meat someone threw out of the fridge to rot on the floor of the restaurant. Game dev teams don't get birthed as fully-formed agglomerations of talent... it takes years for them to come together as effective creative communities and start making material they can be proud of. So we're looking at an industry that's not only hemorrhaging…
