The opening of the story really undercuts the hyperbole: > There are approximately 330,000 people who work in the video game industry. > 9,000 of them have been laid off in 2023. > 3,000 more of them have been laid off this month. You know, the one that's only half over. That's a four percent reduction. Meta cut thirteen percent in November 2022, and it still exists, as does Twitter/X, which has notoriously cut far more staff. A four percent reduction is probably just beginning to clear out some dead wood, not the sign of impending extinction.
