Bigger question is whether 3.2K was ever the real number or just the first one they were comfortable saying out loud.

Sounds like they're just spreading the remaining FY27 cuts across multiple rounds. They announced 3,200 back in July, cut 1,600 then and another ~260 in September. That still leaves a pretty significant number if the original target holds. My guess is they're working through the org changes and deciding which teams to consolidate or eliminate. Wouldn't be surprised if Activision takes another hit. The bigger concern is whether January is actually the end of it or just the next checkpoint.
