Sony announced a ton of layoffs recently, at the same time they announced they will not be releasing any major titles until 2025. Don't they need staff to make stuff? doesn't every company? Why all the sudden layoffs, it just doesn't make sense to me, what am I missing?

and on the flip side... restaurants, travel, and hospitality is desperate for workers due to the huge uptick in demand.

Those industries tend to get the short end of the stick when it comes to labour laws.
