Thank you for your review. We are sorry if you didn’t have a great experience working here. As you mentioned we did have a reduction in our workforce as our business needs are evolving. This was a very difficult decision we made to prioritize focus on the products and services our gamers are asking for. We wish you all the best in the future!
