Toys For Bob, the developer of popular series such as Crash and Spyro, has closed its office responsible for delivering physical copies of its games. The decision comes after the team was subjected to major layoffs, according to an informed source.

Microsoft announced about two weeks ago the layoff of 1,900 developers, most of them from its studios, Activision, and the Toys For Bob team was one of those studios affected by the layoffs, as 86 developers were laid off just from the studio that provided us with the Crash and Spyro games.

According to many sources, the future of the team remains uncertain at this point after such a large number of developer losses, and according to the San Francisco Chronicle, following these layoffs, the team has closed its office responsible for delivering physical copies of its games to retail stores, and this is not the case. It bodes well one way or another.

It is worth noting that the team at Sledgehammer Games, also one of the developers of Call of Duty, also lost 76 developers due to layoffs approved by Microsoft, and this led to a new lawsuit filed against the company by the FTC for being considered a violation of the terms of the acquisition, which stipulated that Microsoft would not interfere with Activision until... After the acquisition, as we mentioned here.

The Toys For Bob team was founded in 1989 by Crystal Dynamics, after which Activision acquired the team in 2005. What is your opinion on the circumstances that Activision Studios is going through after its acquisition by Microsoft?
