At the rate Embracer is going, all that's going to be left over there are managers.
You guys going to have actual game devs to make your games, just wondering?
In this particular case, 50% of a studio is brutal. That's not just cost savings.
You really cripple the studio's culture and its ability deliver products of a certain quality and scope.

But sure, ND laying off, what, 20 people in its QA team(?) was the bigger problem. Watch this be ignored, deflected or whatever.

Microsoft lays off 1,900 Activision Blizzard and Xbox employees
The cuts primarily affect Activision Blizzard employees.

Remember Microsoft is such a great home for ABK devs because they allowed unions to form and such.
Spend 70 billion on Acti, lay off 1900 people. Trash leadership. Fucking $3 Trillion company
Wasn't there an article recently praising Microsoft's way of handling acquisitions?

That happens after big merges.
It is sad but nothing can be done.

This deal was supposed to be good for the people at Activision Blizzard, or at least that's what we were told.
The greed of these mega corps never ceases to amaze me though. They just bragged about how Overwatch 2, Diable, COD, Starfield and Game Pass were all going great and yet here we are.

AB has around 17k employees.
Do you don't believe that there are more than 1900 roles duplicated now with merge?
Imagine being an ABK developer who celebrates getting a new boss after Bobby Kotick gets sent away, just to get fired by that new boss only 2 weeks later.
