Developer of Sim MMO Palia Lays Off Approximately 1/3 of the Workforce

Despite only being a quarter way through, 2024 has already been a harder year in terms of layoffs, when compared to 2023. As per the calculations by PC Gamer, the current layoffs are nearing last year’s total count. It’s estimated that about 8,000 job losses have already occurred in these initial months alone. 

Last week, Certain Affinity, the studio renowned for co-developing the Halo and Call of Duty series, had to lay off 10% of its staff. This marked the first time in its 17-year history that the studio had to make such a decision.
