微软最近宣布裁员 1900 人，涉及 Xbox、动视、暴雪和 ZeniMax。
在过去的几年里，视频游戏行业的裁员已变得越来越普遍。2023 年，整个行业几乎每周都有裁员。当一切尘埃落定时，至少有 6000 个工作岗位在出版商、开发商和其他视频游戏相关公司被终止。遗憾的是，如果今年前几周的情况能说明问题的话，2024 年的裁员人数似乎会超过这一数字。
大多数人都认为 2024 年的情况不会好到哪里去，但我不确定是否有人做好了可能会更糟的准备--然而今年一开年就发生了一连串**小小的裁员事件，这表明企业的大屠杀仪式不会很快结束。因此，Kotaku将尝试追踪《2024》的所有裁员事件。希望我们不用经常更新这篇文章。
中间是名单
截至 2024 年 1 月 25 日，今年至少有 5959 人已经（或即将）下岗。
电子游戏产业比电影和音乐产业规模更大、收入更高，仅在 2021 年就能带来 1800 亿美元的收入。同时，由于 AAA 级游戏的制作时间更长、成本更高，该行业的风险和成本也逐年增加，导致即使是一款失败的游戏也会让工作室或发行商陷入困境。同时，整个行业也急需工会的帮助，以便在事与愿违时保护数百万工人的利益。
在此之前，企业的贪婪、行业的整合和糟糕的领导力很可能会继续让成千上万的人丢掉工作，正如我们在 Twitch、Riot、微软和 Unity 所看到的那样。
Microsoft recently announced 1,900 layoffs across Xbox, Activision, Blizzard, and ZeniMax
Within the last few years, video game industry layoffs have unfortunately become more commonplace. In 2023, we saw near-weekly layoffs across the entire industry. When the dust had settled, at least 6,000 jobs across publishers, developers, and other video game-related companies had been terminated. Sadly, it appears 2024 will outpace that, if the first few weeks of the year are any indication.
Most folks didn’t expect 2024 to be much better, but I’m not sure anyone was ready for it to be possibly worse—yet this year has kicked off with a string of big and small layoffs signaling that the corporate bloodletting rituals aren’t ending anytime soon. So Kotaku is going to try and track all of 2024’s layoffs as they happen. Hopefully, we don’t have to update this post that much.
As of January 25, 2024, at least 5,959 people have been (or will be) laid off this year.
The video game industry is bigger and makes more money than movies and music combined, bringing in $180 billion in 2021 alone. It’s also an industry that becomes riskier and more expensive each year as AAA games take longerand cost more to make, leading to a situation where even a single flop can sink a studio or publisher. And the whole industry is also in desperate need ofunions to help protect its millions of workers when things don’t work out as planned.
Until then, corporate greed, industry consolidation, and poor leadership will likely continue to cost thousands of people their jobs as we’ve seen at Twitch, Riot, Microsoft, and Unity.

多久停止 规模多大都不是游戏行业说了算的
有的人被裁全世界拍手叫好，有的人被裁质问别人有没有同理心
