It was 6 people from the American support branch.

Still bad—but not the levels of bad we all assumed.

oh? so the team aren’t being dissolved or whatnot?

artdad.bsky.social•100 days ago

Correct. The primary Chinese team that made the game are still employed.

That is really so stupid. This industry is so cooked. :(

I love the game. I hope this isn’t the beginning of the end. Don’t get me wrong, it has serious problems, but it’s fundamentally a great game. So W.T.F. are they doing?

Im so confused here. What do you do if you want to work in the industry then? Seems like other fields are better options

Is there an industry that isn't experiencing massive layoffs rn? Hell even government which has been considered stable for generations, is experiencing it

this should not be legal anywhere

swtbeat.bsky.social•100 days ago

In other developed countries, it isn't. Unfortunately in the USA we protect corpos profits over people
