Through the recent layoffs at Microsoft, a large number of employees of the store copy department of games were let go, and with a number of stores announcing that they would stop selling store copies of Xbox games, speculation increased about the company’s digital direction, stopping publishing store copy games, and the announcement that Hellblade 2 will only be released digitally increased. That speculation.
Phil Spencer, leader of the gaming department at Microsoft, indicated in a new interview in which he indicated that the company does not intend to exit the market for store copies of games, and that the company will not make any decision that is against the interests of players in the first place.
