This morning, we were tipped off that there were some staffing changes hitting Activision. While the publisher isnt being specific about offices impacted, we have reason to believe that the Minneapolis, Minnesota location has been affected.
As announced on our earnings call, our games for core audiences did extremely well, but the casual audience has not yet emerged on next gen consoles, an Activision spokesperson told us. So we are refocusing to better align with Activisions long-term priorities because, as always, our strategy evolves to keep us ahead of a rapidly-changing industry. We are working with those impacted by the changes to offer outplacement services and support.
The company also confirmed that its music game would strictly be service-based this year, and no new boxed title would be arriving in 2016.
