Staff cut

So I heard that Square had cut some of YoshiP’s staff to save money. Don't know if this true or not, but is there any leads that is true or not?

Where did you hear this?

A quick google indicates that this is hearsay rather than something that's actually true. CBU3 is carrying Square Enix, so it doesn't make sense. If CBU3 were cutting staff, every gaming journalism site on the planet would be writing about it and FFXIV content creators would have had videos up about it with citations.

But it would be a good idea to keep an eye out. We can’t be sure if it’s true or not.

I'm saying it's not happening. Your friend likely just misunderstood the Yoshi P quote about having difficulty with new hires, due to Japanese people being inexperienced and the language barrier making it hard for them to bring in help from Western applicants.

If staff were being cut, it would have been reported by gaming journalists the world over, especially Jason Schreier. He generally tends to be all over big staff cuts and layoffs in the games industry when they're happening.

I see, guess he might have heard form a source that isn't reliable. Then again, this is the internet we're talking about. Lot of information has been throwing around it's hard to know which is speaking the truth or not.
