I keep hearing about layoffs, studios being closed and how the industry is troubled. Are companies losing money and sales are poor, or is it the same as Google and other companies laying off people just to pump their stock price and make money despite profitability?

    AAA devs are spending too much money making games people don’t like.

      AAA devs publishers are spending too much money making games people don’t like and then making devs design them to get every penny out of customers that they can, then fire the devs if the project doesn’t turn into a fire hose of infinite money. If it does, the sequel better earn infinite^2 money because unlimited growth is the only acceptable success.
