Take-Two Announces “Significant Cost Reduction” But Says It’s Not Layoffs
Take-Two has recently announced that it is working on a “significant cost reduction” but has assured the public that it won’t be laying off its employees for now.
The news comes from a Take-Two earnings report where the company had stated:

These measures are incremental to, and more robust than, our prior cost reduction program, and we aim to achieve greater operating leverage as we roll out our outstanding release schedule.”
Asda makes big change in stores today to help with high cost of living – and shoppers praise ‘excellent initiative’
ASDA has made a big change in stores today to help shoppers with the cost of living – and they’re delighted.
The supermarket is offering all its customers a free bowl of porridge and a hot drink every day from now until March 20.
It will be available from 8am to 12pm in all 205 Asda cafes.
Thee is no eligibility criteria and all you need to do is ask for the deal at the counter.
You can find your nearest branch by using the store locator tool on Asda’s website.
Shoppers have taken to social media to praise the initiative, which is being run in partnership with Quaker.
Writing on Facebook, one shopper said: “Well done Asda. It’s a great idea. A lot of people will be very grateful.”
Another added: “What a great idea, lovely for youngsters to have a warm breakfast.”
A third wrote: “Well done Asda for looking after your community and customers.”
It’s not the first time that Asda has offered a deal to help customers struggling with the soaring cost of living.
Shoppers aged 60 and over can also get hot soup and a roll with unlimited tea and coffee for £1, from today till the end of the month.
Asda has also made its Kids Eat for £1 meal deal permanent across all cafes as well.
Baby food is also available as part of the initiative, with little ones able to get a free pouch of Ella’s Kitchen baby food in their local Asda café.
Selected Asda stores also run a ‘Community Cuppa’ campaign in cafes.
It’s aimed at community groups who may otherwise struggle to meet due to rental costs or high energy costs.
Spaces are available on weekdays from 2pm to 6pm and all community group members who visit get a free hot drink.
Asda isn’t the only supermarket to step up to help pensioners in the cost of living crisis.

Waitrose has a hot drink offer in partnership with Caffè Nero for members of its myWaitrose loyalty scheme.
You need to bring your own cup and make a purchase – but there’s no minimum spend to get your free drink.
