Activision Has Big Layoffs Despite Surpassing Financial Targets

Volgore

"Activision Publishing laid off a number of employees across several companies this week, Kotaku has learned. The publisher let go of staff at Infinity Ward, Beenox, and other internal studios as well as their corporate office, according to sources, despite saying yesterday that they had surpassed their revenue targets for 2016."

The explanation given in the article makes total sense. Activision Publishing only has two major titles planned for the year (Destiny 2 and CoD). They also mentioned that Infinite Warfare did not do as well as expected. Realigning their efforts and cutting out some of the fat would be expected given the circumstances.
