SCEA lay-offs more people; Karraker says no big deal |
Ó
For the past few days now, we've been hearing reports that Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) will be laying off a handful of its employees. Even though a lot of reasons were given - to cut costs, to streamline operations, because the industry is changing - the bottom of the matter is still yet to be reached.But whatever the real reason behind all of these is, it seems that the move is on a worldwide level. Sony Computer Entertainment America's (SCEA) former Developer Relations Head Mark DeLoura remarked that some "really great people" had been laid off from SCEA just recently.
DeLoura added, "There were definitely some job cuts at SCEA last week, a bunch of the folks in marketing who have been involved in E3 prep in previous years were let go." It should be remembered that spokesperson Satoshi Fukuoka remarked that Japan may also see streamlining to their operations in the future.
However, David Karraker is insisting that there's no real surprises here as he explained, "Any recent staff changes at SCEA are part of the normal day-to-day operations of the company and are not related to the reorganization announced by SCEE this week."

Sony overspend on the PS3 launch, the develpment staff suffer as a result - is probably closer to the truth wouldn't you think?
Retard
seriously... losing a job is "no big deal"?? either he must be a one big idiot or never lost a job before
I suppose it's because a computer can do some things way faster, lol. Anyway their employees should fear them since they're, with toshiba, the most important robot developpers, lol. my guess is that in 20 years or less, 1% of the secretary jobs will be owned by robots
