The gaming industry is facing a wave of layoffs and operational shifts. Gameloft has announced staff redundancies at its Lviv and Toronto offices. Similarly, Disruptive Games, known for supporting major titles like Diablo and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, has had to lay off "many amazing, talented game developers" due to unspecified reasons. Electronic Arts (EA) is also reducing its workforce, attributing the decision to the closure of two of its mobile games, EA Sports MLB Tap Sports and F1 Mobile Racing, and has specified that it's cutting "a small number of staff". In a related development, developer Sumo Nottingham has decided to hand off the further development of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre video game to another team, ensuring no interruption to the players.
