<blockquote><p>Video game developer Vicarious Visions has laid off 12 employees as part of a larger corporate restructuring of its parent company Activision Blizzard.</p>
<p>Although Vicarious Visions is in the middle of a $7.3 million expansion into a new 44,000-square foot-office in Colonie, the video game developer&#8217;s parent company, Activision Blizzard, revealed earlier this week that it would be cutting 8 percent of its workforce across the company&#8217;s various units and subsidiaries, which is 800 people.</p>
