Blizzard Entertainment lays off 600 people
Blizzard Entertainment has announced that approximately 600 employees will be made redundant following the results of an internal review.
The Irvine, California-based developer has revealed that 90 percent of those affected will come from departments unrelated to game development, and will include staff from around the globe.
The World of Warcraft development team will not be impacted by today's announcement. "Constant evaluation of teams and processes is necessary for the long-term health of any business." said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment.
