SEGA Reportedly Misplaced 6.6 Million Yen Due To Its Restructuring Of SEGA Europe

Earlier this yr SEGA threw its hat within the ring to maintain the streak of layoffs within the video games trade going with a layoff that noticed the sale of Relic Leisure and 240 folks lose their jobs.

That restructuring and mass layoff is reportedly the trigger for the Sonic firm shedding 6.6 million Yen and a had a drop in its working revenue.

Reported by Japanese web site Gambiz (translated by Automaton-Media), these losses are answerable for an 86.7% drop in revenue for its final fiscal yr which ended on Might 31, 2024.

That 6.6 million Yen is roughly $41 million USD, so it’s certainly not a small chunk of change. Nonetheless, it’s by no means akin to the precise loss that was these 240 workers.

The lack of expertise, of generational information and techniques is at all times much more devastating within the long-term than the monetary pitfalls which will come within the short-term.

These misplaced income are simply one other instance of how layoffs are by no means value it.
