Labor unions in the U.S. and Canada filed unfair labor practice charges against Microsoft, alleging the company engaged in "coercive actions" and made "unilateral changes" to employee contracts during Xbox layoffs affecting 3,200 workers. Rallies were held at Microsoft's Redmond headquarters and other locations in protest. ZeniMax Online Studios leadership was included in the cuts. GameStop's CEO called physical game sales "irrelevant," and veteran developer Glen Schofield retired.
