Guys, we don't do politics here, and debate on government monetary policy is politics.

Stick to the topic, please.

    Instead of discussing the layoffs and if it changes things for 2020 or 2024...  we're getting a mix of misinformation, conspiracies and other oddball politics. 

    This shouldn't change things for 2020 or 2024, I would assume? Asobo seems to have a ton of support from MS and their customers.

    Welcome to the 2020s, where every middle-aged keyboard warrior is smarter than any doctor, economist and climatologist.

    Do you include yourself in that characterization?

    After what I've learned and experienced over the past several years, I'll never "trust the science", which actually means "trust the scientists", again.

    If you prefer to put your trust in big pharma, big banks, big tech, and big govt., then that's your prerogative.

    BTW, the discussion of money printing does indeed have to do with the original topic of mass layoffs at a major company.  It indicates a possible recession, which is affected by monetary policy.

    I'll end my participation here.
