"Layed"

That's not a word, independent of meaning and context. It's "laid". And what's with the capitalisation of every word in the title? That's not how it should be written at all. It feels very "this is a big deal to me so it means it's a big deal to the world and big letters mean big thing".
And just to be clear, I'm in no way trying to minimise what happened to you and everyone else in the game dev industry. I have friends who have been and are in the same or similar situation, you just need to not fail at basic writing.

    This sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole! Apparently "layed" used to be a well-accepted form. "The hens layed 22 eggs each", etc.

    But it looks like it was tapering off in use during the 1700s. Laid was almost always more common even during the 1500s according to Google ngrams.

    So you’re saying we’re dealing with an 18th century game dev here?
