Despite Doom director Hugo Martin’s assurances that id Software was not significantly impacted by Microsoft’s recent Xbox division layoffs, current and former employees are reportedly expressing a more somber outlook. Following reports that the iconic studio behind Doom and Quake had been gutted and potentially reduced to a support role, Martin publicly refuted these claims. However, in the weeks since Microsoft’s announcement of 3,200 job cuts, a number of individuals connected to id Software have privately indicated their disagreement with Martin’s optimistic assessment, suggesting the reality on the ground is far more concerning for the veteran FPS developer.
