Note: Microsoft did not just cut more jobs after the 1,900 layoffs reported before, the entire ActiBlizz ESports Organization is included in the 1,900 layoffs that were already reported on previously.
Only reading the headline can make it seem like Microsoft laid off more than the 1,900 they did before, but thats not the case this time.
Glad they only cut 1,900 jobs!
Thanks for the info though.
There is still one competitor left!
Microsoft hopes that the Internet will still be entertained by one person on stage playing with themselves.

There is an entire industry for that.
Yeah it’s called Twitch I mean Chaturbate
Kinda sad given that Blizzard’s StarCraft is how eSports begun.
Blizzard already halted any real support for starcraft 1/2 beyond keeping the severs running.
This is good imo. Blizzard’s been rotting from the inside for years, and for this Microsoft deal to bring real change they need to let lots of the older employees go. Let’s see how it plays out.
Yeah, the purging was needed. You need only see the chat in their free MOBA to know how long they let the alt right gather with impunity in their games.
You hear people make the excuse that losing subscribers isn’t worth the ban, but Heroes of the Storm is free and it’s a safe bet you can log in at any time to see someone spamming epithets.
