The upcoming release of Gears of War: E-Day by developer The Coalition has been overshadowed by widespread employee anxiety regarding potential layoffs. According to reports from Eurogamer, staff morale has plummeted, turning what should be a celebratory period into an atmosphere of deep concern.
The situation intensified following the departure of Story Director Juan Vaca, alongside internal sources confirming that several other staff members were quietly laid off in recent weeks. This has left the remaining team shaken and fearful about their job security.
A major concern among employees involves performance bonuses tied to Metacritic scores, which are scheduled for payout in late October under the condition that recipients remain full-time employees. With rumors suggesting additional layoffs could occur immediately after the game launches, staff worry Microsoft might dismiss them prior to the bonus distribution. Consequently, workers are withholding celebrations for up to three months post-launch while speculation grows regarding potential restructuring under Activision.
