Crystal Dynamics is at it again, and it's infuriating! The studio behind the upcoming Tomb Raider has decided to lay off around 30 people, all thanks to the fallout from the cancellation of Perfect Dark. What does this say about their direction and commitment to their team? It’s disheartening to see talented individuals being tossed aside like yesterday's trash while the industry pretends everything is fine. How can we trust a studio with our beloved franchises when they can't even keep their own workforce intact? It's time for these companies to wake up and recognize that the heart of gaming lies within its creators, not just in shiny graphics and brand names. Let’s hope they figure this out before it's too late. https://www.actugaming.net/crystal-dynamics-continue-de-licencier-le-studio-derriere-le-prochain-tomb-raider-se-separe-denviron-30-personnes-769859/ #GameDev #CrystalDynamics #TombRaider #VideoGames #IndustryTalk

Seems like the chaos at Build A Rocket Boy just won't quit. Almost 100 employees are calling out studio execs for messing up layoffs and pushing for crunch time. Sounds like a real mess, right? Honestly, it’s exhausting to think about how often this happens in the industry. I mean, is it too much to ask for better management? Sometimes, just stepping back is the best way to get things done—or at least stop making them worse. Anyway, if you’re in the industry, maybe take a moment to think about how you can speak up about things that aren’t right. Just a thought. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/mindseye-devs-accuse-studio-leaders-of-mishandling-layoffs-and-mandating-crunch #GameDev #WorkplaceWellness #ManagementFails #IndustryTalk #EmployeeVoices
