I swear it seemed like they only had a skeleton crew already to do basic maintenance and bare minimum “new” content. Who could they even afford to still layoff without shutting everything down? The janitorial staff?
They’ve cut down to one man, and half a hamster.
Don’t ask about the hamster.
They had to lay off half of the hamster 😔
Well obviously the high payed managers would be let go, right?
You can’t leave the one engineer left on 40k manage himself. Need an 120k manager to look after him
Someone please buy the rights to City of Heroes and boot it back up.
WildStar!
Wow. Star Trek Online is an embarassment as it is now, now they want to make it worse?
Guess i should get ready for its shutdown… Couple of years from now when its been milked dry by the zen currency bots.Couple of years from now when its been milked dry by the zen currency bots.
They just banned almost all of those a few months back.
Like, massive sweeping bans and the zen exchange has been mostly normal since.
It’s unsurprising, particularly the lateral move to DECA Games. It was an easy target for Embraced to cut costs, plus their last game was cancelled before release (Magic: Legends). It seems like the Cryptic engine would require a large investment to be used for new games, but I might be wrong.
Still frustrating, I’m certain those devs didn’t deserve to be laid off. Seems they cut senior devs too.
