Is Tripwire Interactive in the AI layoffs register?

Why Tripwire Interactive is not in the register

This site keeps a register of job cuts linked to AI: a cut enters it when the employer names AI or automation as a reason, or when a credible outlet or a named analyst links it to AI, and each entry is graded on what the employer itself said. Tripwire Interactive's cut was read against that rule and left out. It is shown here because people searching for Tripwire Interactive's layoffs ask whether AI was behind them, and are counted nowhere on this site. How the register decides.
