They may have been unnecessary for years big company's often make cuts to there work force when they realize they have been paying them for nothing.

Doesn't mean its good that people lost there jobs, that still sucks. But this is nothing new tbh.

Also remember in November when we got those mass layoff rumors? This could very well be that cause these cuts were in there Q1 report.

Though the same thing happened in 2008 http://ocbiz.ocregister.com/2008/09/11/more-layoffs-at-blizzard-activision-but-none-affect-irvine-co/

In 2010 they reshuffled and laid off people as well.
