Every day there’s more big job cuts at tech and games companies. I’ve not seen anything explaining why they all seam to be at once like this. Is it coincidence or is there something driving all the job cuts?

    More layoffs in games today, this time at Black Forest Games. Per Kotaku, the German studio laid off around 50 people, which also equates to roughly half its staff.

    Which isn’t as large as the MS cuts coming today of course, but per the rumoured details (all managers and creative directors being safe) it seemed laying them off was easy enough.

    That being said the rumours I’ve heard for the Swedish companies under MS have been largely spared, and there unionisation is of course relatively common.
