Outriders developer People Can Fly has announced its second round of layoffs in less than a year, this time affecting “more than 120” people. The move accompanies the cancellation or downsizing of several projects, with the studio blaming “external market pressures”.

Shame, I actually enjoyed that game.

    I can’t remember seeing a game so totally flame out like Outriders.

    The beta/demo was so promising! Devs were responsive, answered questions, released patches (on a DEMO!). All was right with the world.

    I bought it on launch day, completed the campaign in a week, 1st patch comes out and the game absolutely shits the bed.

    Connectivity problems, blanked out inventories, armor values not being honored resulting in 1 hit kills, and the devs who had been so responsive went radio fucking silent as the game became unplayable overnight. :(

    I don’t know if they ever actually fixed it or not, I got my campaigns worth out of it and never looked back.

      They did fix it. It was actually fun. I hadn’t played in a while as the content updates stopped. But when I played it was fantastic.
