多位消息人士告诉 TechInAsia，Axie Infinity 的创造者 Sky Mavis 将解雇 21% 的员工，即大约 50 名员工，作为精简运营和专注于核心产品的努力的一部分。

The move comes as the game developer is adjusting to the aftermath of a massive hack and downturn in the cryptocurrency and NFT markets.

此举正值游戏开发商正在适应大规模黑客攻击以及加密货币和 NFT 市场低迷的后果。

Sky Mavis 联合创始人 Nguyen Thanh Trung 在 X 帖子中强调，这一决定并非出于财务压力，并补充称此举是“战略转变，可以让 Sky Mavis 更加专注，并为 2025 年及以后的高速增长做好准备。”

“The decision to part ways with talented team members was not made lightly and does not reflect their contributions to Sky Mavis. […] In order to better focus on these products and have the agility needed to open Ronin in Q1, we have made the tough decision to let go of 21% of our workforce.

“与才华横溢的团队成员分道扬镳的决定并不是轻易做出的，也没有反映出他们对 Sky Mavis 的贡献。 [...] 为了更好地专注于这些产品并拥有在第一季度开设 Ronin 所需的敏捷性，我们做出了艰难的决定，解雇 21% 的员工。

Nguyen Thanh TrungTrung also shared that Sky Mavis would not pursue new directions, stating, “rather than trying to build products for all users, we are doubling down on what makes Sky Mavis truly exceptional.” As a result, the game developer will focus on the Ronin wallet and expanding the Ronin Network “for more builders.”

Nguyen Thanh TrungTrung 还表示，Sky Mavis 不会追求新的方向，他表示，“我们不是试图为所有用户打造产品，而是加倍努力，让 Sky Mavis 真正与众不同。”因此，游戏开发商将专注于 Ronin 钱包，并为“更多开发者”扩展 Ronin 网络。
