Y'all feeling the burn this fine morning?

 

[Draugoth]

Great timing, Xbox!

Talk about being tone deaf

 

[Punished Miku]

Lol ...

 

[jshackles]

I bet Arkane, Roundhouse, Tango, and Alpha Dog are feeling the burn

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Makes sense cause currently at Xbox HQ:

 

[F0rneus]

MS what are you doing?!

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

 

[splattered]

Lmaooooooooooooo good god Microsoft

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

my man

 

[odhiex]

Totally on point marketing, good job MS.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

MS Marketing is on fire.
The best marketing in the whole world

 

[adamsapple]

my man

 

[Buggy Loop]

After laying off peoples? Fucking hell

 

[tommib]

 

[Sorcerer]

How about the Elite 3 MS? At least we know the controller division has job security.

 

[midnightAI]

 

[twilo99]

The timing ..

Xbox : I know we just shut down a bunch of studios, but can we interest you in some more ugly controllers?

They should make it a freebie in all those employee's severance packages.

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Only MS would announce a "you're fired" new controller right after the studio closures. Completely clueless.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Is it me or are they releasing more controllers than videogames?

 

[Markio128]

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Perhaps they ought to pitch it as if you don't buy it, they'll close another studio.

 

[Radical_3d]

 

[Sethbacca]

They release more controllers than games at this point. Who is even buying these things with their hardware sales in the shitter?

 

[MonkeyClaw36]

25 different styles of controllers...... That's the same amount of sold XSX's last fiscal year?

Honestly the controllers are damn fine and comfortable. PC users also use them, not only Xbox users.

 

[Lunarorbit]

Bethesda dared ask if they still needed AA batteries for controllers

Hi fi rush paid the price

 

[user friendly]

Free to all devs who were let go today.

 

[bender]

Most Xbox owners have felt the burn since the One released.

 

[Rambone]

I caved in and purchased a few of these special edition controllers because I got lured in by the designs, colors, etc. I will not be buying anymore controllers until Microsoft can release a PS5 feature equivalent controller.

 

[fatmarco]

Great timing, Xbox!

Talk about being tone deaf

Every controller they release is tone deaf. I don't think they've ever released one of these at an appropriate time.

You're meant to counter bad news with good news, aka. Game announces/ reveals.

 

[demigod]

Lol, the clowns updated the headline

 

[Dacvak]

Lol you can’t make this shit up

 

[legacy24]

LMAOO

 

[balls of snow]

MS what are you doing?!

Business as usual.

 

[DonF]

is this some mafia message shit ??

like they send a fish to say that someone is going to sleep with the fishes...

 

[DenchDeckard]

Can microsoft hurry up and make an elite v3 controller please?

 

[Orbital2060]

 

[LordBritish]

Pretty sick color... why cant these be in Elite colors?

 

[TransTrender]

Lol, the clowns updated the headline

I guess they're somewhat aware of the terrible optics around this.

Original headline:
Feel the Burn Today with the Fire Vapor Special Edition Controller

New headline:
Introducing the Fire Vapor Special Edition Controller

 

[Imtjnotu]

Atleast the controller divisions team isn't getting laid off anytime soon
