Video game creation platform Roblox has laid off 30 staff in the company’s talent acquisition team, as hiring slows.
The layoffs come following a period of dramatic growth for the game, which now commands 250 million monthly active users - more than Fortnite and Minecraft combined.
Reporting on the layoffs, Techcrunch said it believed the changes reflected a greater push within Roblox - which operates at a net loss - to focus in on its bottom line, which is heavily affected the growing sums it pays developers on its platform.
When capitalism runs out of places to grow/metastasize, it will consume itself.
