Thuway: Sony Is Restructuring For “Efficiency”

According to insider Ahsan Rasheed, also known as Thuway, many of the internal studios at Sony in Europe - part of the larger Worldwide Studios - are being restructured for efficiency.

He then added that the London Studio has been long known mostly for Singstar and similar projects dedicated to casual gamers, which means that the layoffs are not that surprising.

Ultimately, he mentioned that these things happen regularly, and not just because Sony is being greedy about money, but rather they expect a high level of quality that not every team was able to give.

It’s always unfortunate when projects are cancelled, but without more information we have to believe that it was done in good faith, in order to move resources to more promising projects. Let’s hope that everyone who lost their job will be able to find a new one soon enough, though; there are many possibilities now, thanks to indie studios thriving, Kickstarter and the likes.
