Tencent's Riot Games cuts 11% of global workforce


Riot Games is the latest to cut jobs in the gaming industry after Amazon, ByteDance and Epic Games.

That is despite gamers having many highly rated titles to choose from including Baldur's Gate 3, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Spider-Man 2. New entries in the Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog franchises have also drawn acclaim while there were surprise hits like Sea of Stars, Hi-Fi Rush and Dave the Diver. But announcing the cut, Mr Jadeja says: "Today, we're a company without a sharp enough focus, and simply put, we have too many things underway".
