Sega, the game company that was once very popular, is preparing to make a large mass layoff in its European department due to the financial difficulties it has experienced recently. According to the latest statement made by the company management, 240 employees will be affected by this decision.
This move, which is expected to have a very negative impact on many game studios affiliated with the company, is also expected to have a negative impact on Sega’s market value. Jurgen Post, the company’s European manager, stated that they were very sorry for what happened, and said that they had no other option to keep the organization afloat. Here are the most important details about the subject…
Sega was forced to make mass layoffs
Although the company, which has produced successful productions such as Sonic Forces, Yakuza 0 and Valkyria Chronicles 4 in recent years, is looking back to its old days, it produces relatively successful works, especially in the mobile field. The Total War series on the PC platform has also won the hearts of players for a long time. However, it is currently a mystery how the mass layoff decision will affect these projects of the company. Although the company management guarantees that they will continue their activities in the same way, Sega fans seem very worried about what happened.
Sega is not the only company in the gaming industry that has opted for layoffs. Recently, giant companies such as Sony and Electronic Arts had to part ways with hundreds of their employees. The most important factor here is shown to be that companies are hiring many new personnel, especially with the increasing demand during the pandemic period. We hope that all these developments will benefit the players at the end of the day.
