Live-streaming platform Twitch is set to slash roughly a third of its workforce as part of ongoing efforts to make the business more “sustainable” and “efficient.”

The video streaming platform—which is primarily used to stream video games and was acquired by Amazon in 2014—will cut just over 500 roles, or around 35 percent of its workforce, according to a blog post published on the company’s website on Jan. 10.
