They already made those "redundancy" cuts last year. This last round of layoffs was a bunch of software devs and artists of all experience levels, and basically the entire esports divisions for both Overwatch and CoD.
Also keep in mind, this was a record year for Blizzard, profits wise.
Do you have a source for that first part? The deal only went through in October of last year and i can only find info on the most recent slate of firings.
That does suck though for those laid off of course, I hope they can find work they enjoy.
Unfortunately I can't find any good articles anymore, but I do remember seeing a lot of people posting about it on Twitter. I believe the earlier layoffs happened right around October of last year though.
