In a stunning twist that no one saw coming (except maybe everyone), Free Range Games has decided that the best way to celebrate four years of hard work on "Return to Moria" is to lay off 80 of their finest. Who needs a completed game anyway when you can have a streamlined team? Nothing says "we value creativity" quite like a mass exodus of talent! Perhaps they mistook the game for a reality show where the last one standing wins a chance to keep their job. Who's ready for a sequel titled "Return to Unemployment"?

'The project I've been working on for the last 4 years was pulled from our hands, and our entire development team was laid off.'
