And people jumping to conclusions again. We don't even know how many or what kind of people got fired.
For all we know it could be that SSM decided they only need 2 coffee delivery guys instead of 10 because they streamlined the coffee delivering process.

Highly doubt Sony would make an official statement if they only fired the coffee guys..

SCEA can confirm that we have completed a reduction in workforce at Santa Monica Studio. This is a result of a cycle of resource re-alignment against priority growth areas within SCE WWS. We do not take these decisions lightly. However, sometimes it is necessary to make changes to better serve the future projects of the studio. We have offered outplacement services and severance packages to ease transition for those impacted.

It's totally coffee guys.  

The original source though, wasn't Sony, Sony didn't make an official statement until after there was basically a "rumor" going around that there were layoffs.

You beat me to it.
