    Honestly, the only thing surprising about this is that it affected Prime Gaming staff and not divisions actively involved in game development. Hopefully the people laid off can find new work, but it feels like anyone working in the gaming industry is going to face that kind of job insecurity no matter where they go.

      Yep, I work in games and this year has been fucking brutal.
      Most of my contacts/acquaintances on Linkedin are “between jobs”.

      Luckily I have some freelancing set up, but this thing is killing me. It’s not easy to find another (remote) job when half the people in the industry are competing with you.
