Digital Bros joins the chorus of game companies putting people out of work in the name of “operational efficiency.”
Sounds like parent company is Disney
I bet it’s a PR stunt to cover the fact they are just downsizing their mismanaged business.
Why do these ghouls run businesses in an industry they clearly don’t have any faith in or understanding of,
sequels of what?
My highest play time game is probably minecraft, and my recent go-to is slay the spire.
Sequels are seen as safer profits (there is an existing market) so they get more investment and more investment tends to make better games.
This doesn’t mean its what people want, it just means that name recognition means its cheaper to market a hit game with previous versions acting as a marketing boost. Its a feedback loop.
It is always amusing to see the head of optional entertainment industries make statements like they are making a declaration on par with climate change, a economic depression, etc. As if they expect massive press coverage and endless crying by their would be customers.
When in reality the actual reaction by most is along the lines of “oh no, anyway” and move on to the next bit of optional entertainment media while they and their company are forgotten to the trash pile of failed companies.
