Considering that Ubisoft is the largest gaming entity by employee count with over 20,000 employees, a layoff of 60 employees is barely noteworthy imo.
It's a shame for those laid off of course, hopefully Ubisoft offers a generous severance package that will give them a safety net until they can find new work.
They should lay off more coz they ain't getting the games done quantity and quality wise
