Microsoft is reducing its global workforce by nearly 4%. Gaming is among the departments affected, and as a result, Xbox has abandoned games like Everwild and Perfect Dark.

Microsoft is set to layoff thousands of employees worldwide Wednesday, including some in the Microsoft Gaming division.

Microsoft Corp.’s gaming division began cutting hundreds of employees on Wednesday, part of a broader culling at the software company as it seeks to control costs. Subsidiaries across the gaming organization were told that they would be affected by the layoffs.
