The Verge first reported the news. Other video-game companies, including Riot Games, have also enacted mass layoffs.“Together, we’ve set priorities, identified areas of overlap, and ensured that we’re all aligned on the best opportunities for growth,” Spencer wrote.Blizzard Entertainment is also making big changes as part of the cuts, canceling a survival game codenamed Odyssey and parting ways with President Mike Ybarra and Chief Design Officer Allen Adham, the company’s co-founder.In a note to staff, Microsoft Studios President Matt Booty said that Ybarra “has decided to leave the company.” At the BlizzCon convention in November, Ybarra said in an interview that he wanted to stay at the company for the long haul. “Someone will drag me out of Blizzard,” he said. “That’s how long I will be here.”On Thursday, Ybarra announced his departure in a post on X, the website formerly known as Twitter. “Having already spent 20+ years at Microsoft and with the acquisition of Activision Blizzard behind us, it’s time for me to (once again) become Blizzard’s biggest fan from the outside,” Ybarra wrote.More than 60 other tech companies, including Amazon.com Inc. and Google parent Alphabet Inc., have let go almost 11,000 employees so far this year, according to Layoffs.fyi, which tracks tech industry job cuts.The moves arrive just three months after Microsoft finalized the Activision Blizzard acquisition. In an email to staff reviewed by Bloomberg, Activision Publishing chief Rob Kostich wrote that the cuts were made “to reset and re-align our resources for the future.”Next week, on Jan. 30, Microsoft will report its quarterly earnings.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0},"commentList":[{"id":267137568989408,"gmtCreate":1706229211215,"gmtModify":1706229215455,"author":{"id":"4094958652347310","authorId":"4094958652347310","name":"Maxsoh49","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/75f1d9e53f6e1608d61afc806313a51d","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"4094958652347310","authorIdStr":"4094958652347310"},"htmlText":"My guess is that more similar news is coming&nbsp;","listText":"My guess is that more similar news is coming&nbsp;","text":"My guess is that more similar news is coming","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/267137568989408","repostId":2406210815,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":8,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":1,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
