SEGA already laid off probably close to 200+~ folks from Relic/Rovio/Creative Assembly from their Europe branch last year.
They're also going to lay off 61 people from the US branch in March so they're one step ahead of you.

And I was guessing Sega of Europe too, lol. The Japanese studios haven't really been hit yet, it seems.
I remember reading an article where they interviewed a lot of people within the industry. They expect things to get pretty bad this year in terms of layoffs and their plan is to just survive until next year. Most of these people seem to really be banking on GTA 6 being so popular that it single-handedly revitalizes the entire games industry. I'm personally not sure that's a healthy attitude to have.

Electronic Arts to Lay Off 800 Employees, 6% of Workforce
Electronic Arts will cut 6% of its headcount, amounting to about 800 jobs, and reduce its office space, the company announced.

Not even stupid projections, they just want to increase their bottom line and know that flooding the market with people of a certain skillset will decrease salaries.
This is a concerted effort to further take from those who work to those that exploit. Meanwhile you have people calling these workers useless, bloat, etc. I'm going to love in a few years what will happen when people can't buy products because they can't find work.
