The gaming community is abuzz with the latest developments in the Xbox layoffs saga. In a bold move, protesters have taken to the streets, unleashing a giant inflatable rat, dubbed 'Scabby', outside the Bethesda HQ in Rockville, Maryland. This eye-catching display is a response to the recent visit by Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who was there to preview The Elder Scrolls VI.

The protest is a direct result of Microsoft's decision to cut 1,600 jobs across the Xbox division, with a further 1,600 employees set to be let go throughout the year. The move has sparked outrage among gaming enthusiasts and industry professionals alike.
