  • Fandom Inc ☛ PlayStation Executive Defends Layoffs, Says They Were Necessary To Run A Business

    It's been tough times of late at Sony Interactive Entertainment, as the PlayStation company began the year by cutting 900+ jobs and cancelling games. In July, Sony axed a number of positions from its Destiny studio, Bungie, and announced a reorganization effort there. Then in August, Sony's Firewalk team launched a multiplayer FPS called Concord, only to close it quickly and offer refunds, before the studio itself shut down for good after reportedly spending $200 million+ on it. In an interview with Variety, SIE co-CEO Hermen Hulst reacted to these dramatic moves, saying they all took place as part of the company's effort to run a "sustainable business."
