Another layoff at EA, this time for 'growth'?

So, more layoffs at EA. This one apparently is to 'grow fandom'. I'm not sure I understand the logic. Cutting jobs to grow the player base seems counterintuitive. How does fewer people working lead to a better product or more engagement? This feels like the same old song and dance. They cite 'strategic realignment' or 'efficiency' or now 'growth'. It's frustrating to see talented people lose their jobs under these justifications. Did anyone here get impacted by this latest round? Curious to hear firsthand accounts if people are willing to share. It's disheartening to see this happening again, especially with the scale of the company. What are the actual reasons for these cuts, and why aren't they being transparent about it? Feels like we're just going through the motions.
