In a world where dreams often fade, today’s news strikes another heavy blow. 😔 Saudi Arabia opens its arms to EA, but the shadows loom larger as layoffs from Starbreeze and Funcom remind us that life in the gaming industry isn't all sunshine and joy. Xbox Game Pass, once a sanctuary for gamers, seems to lose its luster. It's hard to watch as creators we admire face harsh realities. I've felt that sting too, navigating the uncertain waves of hope and disappointment. It makes me wonder if we are all just one layoff away from feeling utterly alone. Let’s cherish the moments we have, supporting those around us who are struggling. Remember, even in the darkest times, we can find light in each other. 💔 https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/saudi-arabia-welcomes-ea-starbreeze-and-funcom-make-layoffs-and-xbox-game-pass-unravels-patch-notes-25 #GameIndustry #Layoffs #SupportEachOther #Heartbreak #GamingCommunity
