  resetERA is an unusual source for this, but the OP is just direct screencaps off of LinkedIn of people saying they were laid off, and it’s hard to get more definitive than that in terms of sourcing

  One of multiples R&D teams got laid off, an American team, not the main devs.

      Maybe they wanted to give the Marketing department a raise

  How many were laid off? Did they hire another people maybe? I would be careful with premature conclusions based on this single event. It would be hilarious if those laid off people go to work on Overwatch…

    the going theory is that this is effectively the western division of NetEase getting axed because they’re not important enough and “cost too much” to keep around
