    Only HR, IT, and management are believed to be unaffected by the cuts, which reportedly would see the developer’s title, 2016’s Disney Magic Kingdoms, transferred to Gameloft’s studio in Kharkiv, Ukraine.

    Kharkiv? Damn. I mean, Kharkiv is an active war zone. As in “I read regular news reports about fighting there”.

    This was today:

    And it’s not just casually using the term to refer to Kharkiv Oblast, either. The studio is in the city, slightly on the Russia side.

    10 Nezalezhnosti Ave, BC Kvartal, 61022 Kharkiv, Ukraine

    EDIT: They aren’t in the district that was bombed above, but they’re one block away from said district.

      “active war zone” is a bit much. There isn’t fighting in the city itself, just sporadic long range strikes.
