Gameloft Toronto confirms reports of layoffs to GamesIndustry.Biz. GamesIndustry.Biz also reports estimates of 49 cuts. https://lnkd.in/eiiRhvJy If your role is affected by this news, please make use of the support available across our three platforms. Specifically, I recommend checking out the Games Org Support Posts in Home 1. These resources are highly effective, with ample data to back their success. I won't pretend there are easy solutions but our community's only goal is to make things a little easier for as many people as possible. We have a ton of data showing that, for all candidates, your chances of finding a games role double (from 5 to 10%) over 12 months if you regularly use all our resources versus not. Additionally, yesterday, I just presented a 100% update to our Games Jobs Workbook as of 6/25/2024, with 3,600 companies fully updated and more than 13,000 roles fully updated. Of our 18 resources, this is the most powerful tool we have to help you. https://lnkd.in/d6x5NHMZ (Resource #8) I'm so sorry to hear this report and I will, as always, do my best to do something about it rather than just talking.

Amir Satvat I've been following you since the beginning of the year and I want to sincerely thank you for everything you do for our industry. It is one thing to be laid off myself, but to see each of my amazingly talented, kind, and empathetic team mates laid off as well? That's what really gets me. Here's to the enduring spirit of play and creativity that games are built on. Let's protect it together! 💪 💗💗💗
So sorry to hear it! There are lots of smart people in this studio... If anyone is interested Zynga currently has 18 open positions in Toronto. Feel free to DM me; I am a fellow Gamelofter, and I am glad to help if I can https://www.zynga.com/international-location/toronto-canada/
It's sad realizing that Gameloft isn't even the shadow of what it was.
