Nearly 200 employees from Sledgehammer alone, so hundreds of COD employees laid off across the studios.
It's like they got some monkey to click a bunch of names on a spreadsheet...Of course, all layoffs suck but Call of Duty developer layoffs aren't just bad, they're braindead too, CoD is your money machine, that is on a yearly schedule, that is really struggling to maintain that yearly schedule, and you've just cut hundreds of employees from it.
I struggle to believe Xbox would be this clueless, very much feels like a clueless Microsoft enforcing though.
