    They already made those “redundancy” cuts last year. This last round of layoffs was a bunch of software devs and artists of all experience levels, and basically the entire esports divisions for both Overwatch and CoD.

    Also keep in mind, this was a record year for Blizzard, profits wise.

      Do you have a source for that first part? The deal only went through in October of last year and i can only find info on the most recent slate of firings.

      That does suck though for those laid off of course, I hope they can find work they enjoy.
