29 games, hundreds of devs, obliterated. Thanks so much Lars Wingefors.

I honestly feel that estimate of devs is on the low side.

If each game had 34 staff working on it, that's 986 already.

I made that comment prior to clicking on the article.

The staff reductions so far are in the 1300s, with possibility of being a "final" cut this year.

  • Buy studios

  • Don't sell games

  • Don't make games

  • Fire all employees

  • ????

  • Profit

Okay, I get it now. Embracer is a long con by Jack Thompson to end video games as a medium.
