nanoUFOBaldur's Gate 3 Dev Larian's Publishing Director Calls Games Industry Layoffs an 'Avoidable F*ck Up'
DingoBillySurprisingly narrow minded and incorrect viewpoint.
Layoffs are inevitable, including at Larian studios. Otherwise they’re saying all video game studios just have linear growth forever which is stupid.
Not true. They could have a decently stable developer base. That is, they don’t overhire and don’t “need” to have layoffs as a result.
I swear this comment was a trolling attempt or one of the bloodsucking investors that think linear growth is a bad thing.
Well luckily every game studio only ever makes successful games and Larian will never make a flop. Right?
Just like other great studios like CPDR. Or Blizzard… Oh…
I swear people are just idiots or have zero memory.
Except the companies aren't doing layoffs because of a flop or a bad release.
They're doing them explicitly because shareholder expectations of profit growth were not met.
