Microsoft performed a 7.5billion dollar acquisition for Bethesda. Between the game studios they already own and the ones they've been acquiring there is likely a lot of overlap. While the layoffs are across multiple departments a lot are in the gaming space.

Google just shuttered Stadia this past week or so and likely had a lot of losses associated with paying back all the users. Just as likely is to make Wall Street happy but possibly to make up for questionable business decisions.
