币界网报道:Microsoft is cutting 9,000 jobs, about 4% of its workforce, as part of a restructuring plan that includes overhauling its gaming division. The layoffs follow the tech giant's $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard last year. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer stated the changes aim to align strategies and reduce overlapping areas post-merger. The cuts will impact employees across Xbox, ZeniMax, and Activision Blizzard teams. Microsoft expects to complete the workforce reduction by June, with severance packages offered to affected staff. This marks the company's second major round of layoffs in a year after cutting 10,000 jobs in early 2023
