Scope[edit]

Two things to consider:

  1. It seems the 2024 layoffs may be a continuation of layoffs in 2023. It depends on how sources describe it, but it may be worth expanding the scope to extend from 2023-2024 if sources consider it one event.
  2. Game industry layoffs may be a part of broader tech sector layoffs. I read some articles that described it as such. Consider exploring that angle.

Thank you for the suggestions! I've made the change from "layoofs started in 2023" to "layoffs began to escalate in 2023.". I will research to determine if there is a connection between tech layoffs and gaming layoffs. Thanks again! Ryan York (talk) 22:42, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If they started in 2023, maybe move the article to 2023–2024 video game industry layoffs TarkusABtalk/contrib 23:42, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Embracer's $2B deal that fell through needs to be added here. That was a major catalyst within Embracer's studios but has had reverbating effects from there. --Masem (t) 01:48, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I've mentioned it a couple of times in the "Major Layoffs" section, but I can also mention it in the "Causes" section as well? Ryan York (talk) 18:56, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I think it needs to be as a cause, but I would include it under Mergers + Acquisitions since it was Embracer banking on the $2B deal that accounted for their earlier acquisitions. Masem (t) 20:21, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, thank you! Ryan York (talk) 20:35, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
