Layoffs continue to spread across the gaming industry, and it's no longer just Microsoft's Xbox division making headlines.
This time, 1047 Games, the developer behind Splitgate, has reportedly conducted another round of layoffs, raising even more questions about the future of AAA development, rising budgets, and the live-service business model.
