    What you posted was at Microsoft itself. That story is from January 2023.

    The ActiBlizz deal didn’t close until October 2023.

      Agreed, and my Coder/QA/Artist/Designer friends who were laid off aren’t in Finance, HR, etc. They were all seniors in Engineering/QA/Art/Design departments.

        Dude you’re so confused right now.

        You’re suggesting layoffs announced today, within ActiBlizz teams, were preemptively carried out by Microsoft a year ago, 10 months before the merger closed and the ActiBlizz team was even part of Microsoft?
