Recently, there have been rumors that Perfect World has initiated a large-scale layoffs, affecting employees in multiple cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu. The layoffs mostly targeted game project teams whose revenue did not meet expectations, such as "Perfect New World" and "One Punch Man". It is rumored that hundreds of employees have been laid off in some R&D departments and that the middle platform team has been reduced from 150 to dozens of people. Regarding this, Perfect World responded: in order to actively adapt to the rapid changes in the external market environment, the company continues to explore and transform, but indeed, there are some products that did not perform as expected. To respond to these challenges, the company proactively reorganized and adjusted, adopting a series of solutions including optimizing resource allocation, focusing on core projects, carrying out necessary personnel optimization, and intensifying office space integration, so that resources can be more concentrated on core business advantages. The adjustment process will inevitably bring some pains, and the company is trying to resolve negative effects while also hoping that the outside world can give some time and space, allowing the company to focus on improving internal skills and enhancing operational efficiency.
