    Looks like the gaming industry, under the consolidation of ‘big tech’ or spreadsheet crunchers, have been treating all staff as ‘temporary employees’. Once the project or role is done, they cut you off.

    What a great way to run an industry! /s

    I can’t say I understand the expectations of the head of these gaming studios nowadays. I mean, I know they are toxic as hell, but even then… The game has just released to justify layoffs. If anything, they should’ve vetted the project from the very beginning (at least I don’t see the point of a new remaster of Halo CE, specially after a suppose rebranding).

      The game was released. They don’t need them anymore to see profits.

      No one sees beyond the next quarter. Im sure they think they can just hire on demand if the project needs it.
