 The Giant Chinese Technology Company ByteDance Cuts Jobs in Gaming Unit

The giant Chinese technology company, ByteDance, which owns the popular TikTok application, has recently made the decision to cut hundreds of jobs in its gaming unit. This move reflects the company's retreat from the highly competitive video game sector. According to an informed source who spoke to Agence France-Presse on Monday, Newverse ByteDance, a video game publisher affiliated with ByteDance, is currently undergoing a round of layoffs that will affect "hundreds of people."

ByteDance, known for its successful social media platforms, has been expanding its presence in the gaming industry in recent years. However, the company has now decided to reevaluate its business strategy and focus on areas of long-term growth. As a result, it has made the difficult decision to downsize its gaming unit.

ByteDance has not disclosed the exact number of jobs that will be affected by the layoffs. However, it is estimated that "hundreds of people" will be impacted. The company has assured that it will provide support to those affected by the layoffs and help them transition to new opportunities.
