They are all switching over to PS4, so the studio might not need the extra staff to develop games , the PS 4 is easier to make games on.

Even less resources for 1st party exclusive content for PS4. And PSV really seems to be dead when it comes to Sony western studios.

What made you think that PSV was ever alive when it came to Sony western Studios?

What the hell does this have to do with the thread? It's not like Lionhead is the only one hiring...Other Sony studios are hiring such as Naughty Dog.

Odd how many layoffs Sony are doing all around the same time. Something to do with their financial year figures maybe?

I think so. I don't know much about these things, but I imagine if they make these changes before the end of the financial year their projections for the next year will be more favourable which will keep stockholders happy.

Looks like Sony are trimming more fat to cut costs.

You calling those employees fat?

Seriously though.

It is probably what needs to happen. Last time it was SCEA, now it is SCEE's turn I guess.

Have you ever ran a business before?

Yeah, I don't understand how Sony can trim down everywhere BUT their Japan studios...

Maybe becuase Sony is a Japanese company. MSFT seems to be building strong internal studios, hopefully some of the released talent find jobs working on XB1.

Just asking.
