Senior technical recruiter Matt Barney has also lost his job, as detailed ina plucky emoji-strewn goodbye post.

“For the past few months, I knew this layoff wave was coming,” he wrote.

“I love PlayStation & I always will…

I mean, I stayed when I had the chance to leave, so obviously!”

I’ve mailed Sony PR for confirmation.

I’ll update this post as and when we hear more.

Best of luck to everybody who’s lost their job at Sony in the latest round of cuts.

Thanks for passing it on,VGC.
