I hate to keep seeing this with people losing their jobs. I get that's how the industry works and when they aren't working on a project they lay people off now but it still sucks. Hopefully other companies pick them up like many did for irrational.

The gaming industry seems like a terrible place to work. Layoffs at any time combined with shitty hours during crunch time.

SCEA can confirm that we have completed a reduction in workforce at Santa Monica Studio. This is a result of a cycle of resource re-alignment against priority growth areas within SCE WWS. We do not take these decisions lightly. However, sometimes it is necessary to make changes to better serve the future projects of the studio. We have offered outplacement services and severance packages to ease transition for those impacted.
They've cleared sacked the coffee guys.

Trimming the fat on a game that didn't develop well is my guess.
They just moved to a bigger location and hired a bunch of new people, and are still hiring.
Likely that new project didn't meet their standards or expectations and let some of them working on it go.
HMMMMM.
