Civvie 11, the YouTuber at the center of the boomer shooter revival, is not chuffed about the management over at Xbox. In recent weeks, the company mapped out plans to lay off more than 3,000 staff. While they’ve been careful to avoid outright shuttering any of the studios purchased in the last decade, Microsoft has whittled most into brittle twigs. This is especially true of Doom creators id Software, who Civvie credits for making the most influential games of the last ten years.
