I spoke to over 40 game developers whose companies had been impacted by layoffs in the last year. They shared with me the explanations companies gave them for what was causing the sudden loss of their livelihood, but they also told me why those explanations didn’t always seem to match reality.
Ok this might be the best article on the topic I’ve read (specific to the games industry). Much better journalism than I’d expect, especially from IGN, so credit where credit is due. Thanks for sharing.
