為縮減不必要開支並專注研發新作，動視暴雪（Activision Blizzard）的裁員消息確認後，有 8% 近 800 位的員工將被資譴。如今，全球遊戲大廠及工作室聽聞此消息，紛紛在推特釋出善意，以「#gamedevjobs」為號召，廣泛發布各大遊戲工司的職缺召聘連結。
雖然絕大部份從動視暴雪的離職員工並非遊戲開發人員，但也有少部份的遊戲設計師，以及在遊戲圈打滾多年的行政資深老手，是其他遊戲工作室需要的人才。包含索尼（Sony）遊戲工作室、微軟（Mircosoft）、EA、Turtle Rock、Rockstar、Sony Santa Monica… 在內，皆有許中職缺等待人力填補，相當暖心。
Hey industry friends. We're always looking for talented men and women out there to work at Xbox and on the Mixer team. Check out the Microsoft career site and search "Xbox" or "Mixer" to pull up the many listings. 💙💚 #GameDevJobshttps://t.co/NB69psLMCx
