136 Jobs to Go at Cork-Based Games Developer

Tánaiste Micheál Martin has confirmed that 136 out of 198 employees at a Cork-based gaming company, recently acquired by Microsoft, are set to be made redundant. This news follows reports from last month that Microsoft is cutting 1,900 jobs in its gaming division, including within its Xbox team. Mick Barry, a People Before Profit-Solidarity TD, highlighted the issue in the Dáil, expressing concerns for over 100 workers at Activation Blizzard in Blackpool who are facing redundancy within the next couple of weeks.
