Another individual affected by the layoffs is Matt Barney, a former senior technical recruiter. Barney acknowledged the impending layoff wave, stating, “Goodbye PlayStation / Sony Interactive Entertainment, it’s been real! For the past few months, I knew this layoff wave was coming. I love PlayStation, and I always will… I mean, I stayed when I had the chance to leave, so obviously!”
Barney extended his support to those facing the same situation, saying, “To those of you within my former organization that have been impacted today, I wish you the best of luck in your own layoff! […] This is not the first time that I’ve been included in a layoff in games… to those of you struggling, keep at it. This sucks for sure, but keep fighting the good fight!”
