However, this greater investment, it says, will be funded by "de-prioritizing initiatives that are not meeting expectations and reducing certain non-development and administrative-related costs across the business"--referring to the layoffs. In the financial statement, COO Coddy Johnson announced that there will be a cut of 8 percent in headcounts within Activision Blizzard. With close to 10.000 employees at the most recent count it's about 800 employees losing their jobs. This has resulted in the shutdown of one of King's studios, and has led to reductions to areas such as esports that had been the focus in projects such as The World of Warcraft League.
