Got no jokes
Feel horrible for people that lost their jobs
Game development industry is in a rough place right now, that I honestly don't know how it gets out of.

Sony London seemed to be in a weird place in terms of development, but this news sucks.
Everything ends up everywhere. Except for Nintendo because they have shoestring budgets and mainly Japanese staffs

I know shroud the streamer said AI is going to really decimate it further before.

Any info on why the industry is in this spot? Or links for more insight?
It seems like budgets are getting bigger, and development cycles are lasting longer. Which on a surface level would make you think that less staff doesn’t add up.

As a former Graphic Designer, AI is a threat to me and is going to take over a lot of job in a lot of fields.

It would appear that model isn't sustainable for anyone outside of the largest publishers. Rockstar can make it work when they sell 50+ million copies, but profit margins are falling across the industry. And we cant have that.
Shawn Layden was saying this in 2020:
Former PlayStation exec says current AAA development model is unsustainable
Shawn Layden has called for a return to tighter games that are less expensive to make.

Now I would argue there IS a sustainable, model to be found just not with the top-end profits. It would also rely on engine and asset usage shared.
Middle management bloat seems to be the biggest issue at many of these companies.
Keep in mind the move to ~50% digital sales means more profit for developers as well, which seems to have been washed out by costs.

I dont see it talked about in this thread, but I just finished Steamworld Build and it is one of the best city management games I've played in a long time.
I find SimCity, Tropico, and Cities: Skylines get a bit too into the weeds. This game is a bit more basic and obviously a more fantasy setting, but I really liked it.
It's no Frostpunk, but thats okay.

Lol, you sure are one lousey troll... did you even look at the game?
Im sure only the power of the PS5 is capable of running that 2D game at 120hrz. What TV do you have buddy?
