Things are also looking bleak at Life is Strange studio Deck Nine. 20 percent of the workforce has to leave.
As Deck Nine officially announced via X, formerly Twitter, they were forced to announce layoffs. Like many other companies in the gaming industry at the moment, they are affected by the deteriorating conditions on the market, the article says.
The decision was therefore made to lay off 20 percent of the workforce, no matter how difficult the decision was.
Deck Nine also writes that these affected people are great, talented and great and have made a difference in the company. That’s why Deck Nine calls directly in the article for these people to be hired if this is possible.
Shortly beforehand, narrative designer Elizabeth Ballou had already spoken about the layoffs at Deck Nine and confirmed that she was affected. Those who were terminated would have been given two weeks to say goodbye and sort everything out, even if they had been with the company for over seven years.
It is now questionable whether those affected will be able to find accommodation elsewhere so quickly, as jobs are currently being cut in many companies, most recently at Playstation and Electronic Arts.
