16% of Epic’s workforce has been axed. Epic Games this week laid off 16% of its workforce, with Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier suggesting the Fall Guys developer Mediatonic had been “hit very hard”. This allegedly followed with claims elsewhere online that the entire UK-based team had been cut. Apparently, this is not the case. In a…
