Update 4/20: Looks like this Business Insider report was true for all but two major Meta studios: Onward developer Downpour Interactive, and Echo VR developer Ready at Dawn. Both studios reportedly lost several employees in the layoff, with some remaining employees noting that roughly 1/3 of the employees were laid off on 4/19.
Once again, we're faced with the sad news that thousands of Meta employees are losing their jobs. We expected this after Mark Zuckerberg, Meta's CEO, announced subsequent layoffs would be coming soon but one thing reportedly happened today that we didn't expect: Meta began to pivot focus away from the Metaverse and back to VR gaming.
