The Verge writes: “Yesterday, the company’s esports department suffered layoffs impacting around 50 employees, which, according to one of those affected, “seems like a significant gutting of Activision Blizzard Esports.
In a statement to The Verge, Brad Crawford, senior director of global communications of Activision Blizzard esports, wrote, “We remain committed to the future of esports, and we regularly assess how our staffing aligns with our business goals to ensure we can evolve with changing trends and best deliver for our teams, players, and fans. As always, supporting our employees through transition is our top priority.”
However, those let go don’t feel very supported. According to a laid-off employee who asked not to be identified for the sake of their future employment, the layoff came out of nowhere.”
