I love that someone downvoted you for this when there's been a very real and recent trend of major studios and publishers chucking staff into the wind right after successful game launches.

    Didn‘t downvote, but I think it’s an unfair generalization to suggest that a developer which isn’t owned by any major player in the gaming industry, hadn’t had any major layoffs in the past, and whose former CEO stepped down voluntarily after Firebreak flopped, will suddenly just start laying off people. I’m not claiming to know that it’s not going to happen, but right now it’s just a cynical take which doesn’t contribute to the discussion.

    Yeah but don't be so negative, this time surely it won't happen like it did all of the other times!
