Ubisoft *rarely* lays off people, certainly not in the 100s like other companies. One of the most stable in the industry imo. They treat people right and do good by them. Hit them up. Can especially vouch for my old studio
@UbisoftToronto
. Lots of love for them!
#gamejobs
Activision-Blizzard will lay off around 800 people. Whilst they’re getting severance packages, we should help them get back on their feet.
If you need any information, help or advice on any
