2024年對遊戲行業來說是個沉重的裁員之年。最近，索尼做出決定，導致多家知名遊戲工作室如 Naughty Dog、Insomniac Games、Guerrilla Games 和 Firesprite 的部分員工無奈離開。在這批裁員名單中，有一位有着18年工齡的 Naughty Dog 藝術家 Santiago Gutierrez，他在LinkedIn上發表了自己的感慨。
在 Naughty Dog 工作了整整18年後，Gutierrez 面臨了被解僱的命運。他在社交平臺上發佈動態，透露自己花了兩天時間才鼓足勇氣寫下離別的話語：“我曾無數次試圖表達內心感受，但真的很難。尤其是當面對孩子們，我不禁自問是否哪裏做得不夠好。18年前，我在這裏開始了職業生涯，那個曾創造出無數神奇作品的工作場所，如今卻成了我接送孩子上下學途中的一個普通站點。工作室的四壁見證了我的半生歲月，我在此傾力投入於精彩紛呈的項目，與夥伴們共同成長。”
“失落感並非僅僅源於失去一份工作，更是因爲喪失了爲之奮鬥的目標，失去了那份無比熱愛且如同家人般緊密合作的團隊和日常的工作生活節奏。此刻，無法當面道別的現實讓人深深感受到迷失和哀傷，畢竟這是在付出18年青春後發生的事情。被解僱不僅是開啓新階段的門戶，也是轉型之旅的轉折點，過往的豐富經驗將在新的領域裏尋找創作的新篇章。關上的那扇門，預示着一段充滿未知挑戰的嶄新冒險的啓程。”
索尼這一輪的裁員舉措影響到了世界各地的工作室，甚至有消息稱 PlayStation 正在嚴肅考慮完全關閉倫敦工作室，儘管該工作室曾在2022年爲某個項目發佈過人員招聘信息。

Naughty Dog Hit By Layoffs. Gutierrez, Employee For 18 Years: 2024 is a year sadly already full of layoffs in the gaming sector. In recent days, Sony has decided to send home several employees of Naughty Dog, Insomniac Games, Guerrilla Games and Firesprite. There is also one of the 'victims' of this series of dismissals Santiago Gutierrez, an artist who has been at Naughty Dog for 18 years and expressed some interesting thoughts on his LinkedIn profile. In a post on the social network, Gutierrez underlines how he didn't have the strength to talk about his farewell to Naughty Dog: “After two days I find the strength to write something. Believe me, I've tried at least a hundred times. It's not easy when you look at your children and ask yourself 'did I do something wrong?'. Almost eighteen years ago I started working for Naughty Dog. The office, once a place where magic was performed, is now a point I have to walk through to take my children to school. The walls inside the studio bear witness to half of my life as I worked on wonderful projects and shared what I knew with my colleagues.” In the end, Gutierrez stressed how disoriented he felt after the dismissal: “The sadness isn't just about losing a job, but more about losing a purpose. A community, a team that I love with all my heart. A routine that was intertwined with my daily life. It leaves you with a deep sense of disorientation and sadness because not even at this moment are you allowed to say goodbye in person… after eighteen years. Getting fired became not only the gateway to new studiesbut also the transition towards a journey of transformation where the richness of the experience found finds new canvases on which to paint. The door, once closed, symbolizes the beginning of an unpredictable adventure“. Sony's latest cuts affect studios around the world. PlayStation seems to be seriously considering the total closure of London Studio. All of this despite the fact that London Studios had published some personnel search advertisements in 2022 to work on that project. And what do you think?
