    You’re forgetting there was a merger. Jobs that were necessary when there were 2 separate companies are now not necessary when there is only 1 merged company.

    Also it seems a large number of layoffs were for:

    • blizzards survival game that was reportedly in development hell after 6 years of development
    • the physical games department because Xbox is going all digital
