Well, that explains the mass layoffs.
Yeah. There are a couple of other factors, too:
So gaming (and tech in general) companies have seen a downturn in investment, their audiences are spending less money and the general economy is weaker. It's no surprise so many of them are having to resort to layoffs. Some of that is down to poor management and overspending/over-expansion during the pandemic, and those companies' management obviously deserves criticism. But some of it is just down to a collection of unfortunate circumstances all coming to a head at once.
