Just a day after Unity announced it would be laying off 1,800 employees as part of an ongoing "company reset", it's being reported that live-streaming site Twitch is now poised to cut 35 percent of its workforce - equalling around 500 jobs - later this week. While Twitch declined to comment on the story when approached by Bloomberg, the publication claims the job cuts come amid continuing struggles for the live-streaming site. In March, more than 400 employees lost their jobs as part of major layoffs at Amazon, and a further round of cuts - this time focused on Twitch's customer experience team - were reported in October.
