India's Online Gaming Ban Sparks Mass Layoffs

India made it illegal to play online games for real money.

Because of this, many gaming companies are firing workers.

Games24x7 is laying off 400 people, MPL is cutting 60% of its India staff, and Baazi Games is letting go over 200 people.

The government passed a law that stops these games, which means the companies can't make money the same way anymore.

The industry is trying to figure out new ways to make money, like selling ads or going to other countries.

Thousands of people who work in this industry are worried about their jobs.
