\n100 Thieves, a North American gaming and esports organization, is said to have laid off more than ten members of its content team.<\/p>\n
The news was shared on Twitter by some of the band’s former members. Meanwhile, James Fudge, the author of the Fudge Retort newsletter, provided a list of those involved.<\/p>\n
The layoffs primarily affect the content division, which includes social media managers, video editors, and producers. The 100 Thieves is yet to issue a statement regarding the layoffs. Mike Aransky, the former executive producer for 100 Thieves, is perhaps the most well-known figure among those leaving the organization.<\/p>\n
Given 100 Thieves’ rapid growth in recent years, the news comes as a shock. The franchise had a good run in 2021, which saw the organization acquire the boutique keyboard brand Higround and raise a sizeable investment at the end of the year.<\/p>\n
The franchise had announced earlier this year that it was planning to create its own video game, it also released an NFT collectible, and collaborated on a custom gaming headset with JBL.<\/p>\n
Jake Lucky had taken to his Twitter page to predict a possible restructuring to be done by other organizations in the coming future.<\/p>\n
\n100 Thieves have let go several members of their content staff as of today. A restructuring that wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see of other Orgs in the future. More to come.<\/p>\n
