Activision Lays off 150 Employees

Posted by Zonk on from the who-will-make-the-shiny-things dept.

Distressing news from the games industry job market continues to surface, as Activision lays off about 7% of its workforce, or 150 people. From the Gamasutra report: "The cuts are said to be across the board, with no specific developer or publishing unit announced as being affected more than another, with spokesman Ashley Dyer commenting that the layoffs were part of an effort to 'realign' the company's operations for the next two years."

    "The cuts are said to be across the board, ... part of an effort to 'realign' the company's operations for the next two years."

    How do across the board cuts help realign anything? If they were really realigning the business, one would think they would cut from areas that aren't their future focus.
