From EA to Microsoft, Epic, Unity, and heck even Amazon at this point. All three of them have at least 1 thing in common, over the past few months, they all have experienced MAJOR layoffs.
Hundreds to thousands of employees are losing their jobs because these companies can’t afford to pay them.
My question is… why? These are all billionaire studios with massive money incomes, and tons of new releases. Why are they collapsing into the ground?
Perhaps the focus on mega-blockbuster titles is a gamble. If one of these fails to hit the mark, the financial repercussions can be severe, impacting staffing levels.
