Company spokesperson rebuffs news of a 75% workforce reduction, confirms full-time workforce has been cut by 28%
Reports of job cuts taking place at Microsoft’s in-game ad firm Massive Inc are “wildly inaccurate”, according to a company spokesperson.
On Wednesday news emerged that Microsoft’s sustained cost-cutting measures had resulted in a 75 per cent workforce reduction at its in-game advertising firm Massive.
Speaking to Develop, a company spokesperson has denied the extent of the layoff measures.
“While yesterday’s job eliminations included full-time employees who work for Massive, the reports of a 75 percent workforce reduction are wildly inaccurate,” he said.

Resource Allocation
They likely aren't layoffs.. they are 'resource allocations'.
In other words, there is a minimal net loss to headcount, however the 'allocated' headcount now resides in some third world country where 486 DX-66's are considered top of the line hardware.
Don't believe it? My employer did just that sort of thing.
