The only insight I can possibly add is that I’d heard NetEase is pulling ALL investments out of NA. Started last year. Are these layoffs all the NA design team? If so then it appears no, it doesn’t matter how successful your game is, corporate policy created by geopolitics and trade relationships do

"ALL investments out of NA" sounds pretty definitive. Is a studio like T-Minus Zero (pretty much all American as far as I can tell) doomed before even announcing a game? https://t-minuszero.com/
(More of a rhetorical there. I don't expect you to know.)
