    January hasn’t ended yet and we are at 60% of the total layoffs of last year.

        https://publish.obsidian.md/vg-layoffs/Archive/2024 not sure if this is what you’re looking for but someone has been tracking overall video game layoffs for the past 3 years. 2023 was approximately 10,600, we’re halfway there at 5600 in 2024 and it’s only been a month. That’s pretty fucked.

        Take your pick of article. There are numerous to choose from, and most of them give a rough number and their sources.

            I don’t have their numbers, but this isn’t the first place I’ve seen similar quoted. First one I found through some friends’ discussion was this, which puts us, at a quick glance, at around a third of last year’s total(still plenty bad).

              That’s not a source. That’s a ‘go do your research with a search and figure out what sources to look at’.

              I wanted to know what they read and to read it myself.

      Well I was wondering what the cluster fuck of 2024 would be. We had covid, Russian war, massive inflation… Now what… High unemployment?

      Amazing leadership, I applaude them.

        What leadership? The illuminati? God? Those things are (basically) unrelated.
