I genuinely hope we are not headed toward significant layoffs over there as a result of this game.

Warner Bros. having the artists take the L for management's poor decisions? They should be safe, that's totally not gonna happen /s

200-300 active players seems to be gamers' collective signal of, "fuck you for putting in stupid microtransaction live-service grindfests, you removed what makes games worth playing, so we ain't playin' them". Payday 3 is around the same level.

Remember kids: Management will never risk a damn thing and even when they do lose they’ll be ok because they put all your money into a rainy fund. And they’ll blame every single person but themselves.

I think the employees should get all the profits from the business, since they take on all the risk.

I'd wager that's the floor because a non-trivial portion of that 2-300 are bots or something.

Yeah, it could be the people that launch every game in their library once a day for cards or something.
