What the fuck is that logic even? These people contributed to making a great game that made you a ton of money and you have them fired right after. I can't see how that makes sense, if they succeeded once, surely they can make other great products.

Layoffs make the stock price go up. It's a "look at all the money we are saving!" Move. Get a short term profit at the expense of long term gains, because to shareholders short term profits matter more.
