Gears of War: E-Day developers fear post-launch layoffs
Original: As Xbox swings the axe, Gears of War: E-Day developers fear they'll be laid off straight after launch - and right before they'd be due their bonuses
Developers working on Gears of War: E-Day at Xbox worry they will be laid off immediately after the game ships, potentially before bonuses tied to its release are paid out. The fears come amid a fresh round of job cuts sweeping Microsoft's gaming division, with staff anxious that finishing the title offers little job security.
Why now: Xbox's ongoing wave of layoffs has made workers fear that completing their game could cost them their jobs and bonuses.
