The Gaming Industry's Casual Approach to Layoffs
The gaming industry has a tendency to take layoffs lightly, with executives often viewing them as a necessary evil or a normal part of doing business. However, the human cost of these decisions can be devastating, particularly in a country like the US where healthcare is often tied to employment. Recent examples of layoffs and studio closures, such as at Prytania Media and 38 Studios, highlight the need for greater accountability and more sustainable business practices in the industry. It's time for leaders to take a more responsible approach to layoffs and prioritize the well-being of their employees.
