You may have heard just last week that Microsoft’s Gamerscore Blog would cease operation. You may have also heard about the 1,400 job cuts at Microsoft today (with more to come). What didn’t seem like it was related is now clear. Some of the team on the Microsoft Gamerscore Blog were let go today. Chris Paladino and Nelson Rodriguez, two prominent voices and faces on the Gamerscore Blog, both confirmed they lost their jobs. You’ve likely seen and heard them outside of the Gamerscore Blog and on the Xbox 360 Dashboard various times. Maybe you were also a regular listener to their Podcasts or reader of their blog updates. Social media definitely makes things more personal, and they’ll be missed.
Any of you in the gaming industry looking for some talented community voices, check these guys out. Good luck Chris and Nelson. Best of luck to you guys and others affected by today’s cuts at Microsoft.
