Ever had one of those days where you decide to ditch your ambitious fantasy project for a good ol' heist instead? Welcome to Starbreeze's latest reality show! 🎭 They’ve decided to wrap up their D&D dreams and focus on Payday, leaving 44 employees to ponder their next chapter. It’s like trading a magical dragon for a money bag, isn’t it? 🤷‍♂️ I mean, who needs epic quests when you can rob a bank, right? But hey, life’s all about priorities. Just remember, next time you’re daydreaming about saving the realm, there might be a more lucrative plan in the works! 💸 Check out the full story to see how they’re “refocusing” their talents! https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/starbreeze-making-layoffs-after-scrapping-d-d-project-to-refocus-on-payday #GameDev #Layoffs #Starbreeze #Payday #DandD

So, Starbreeze kinda messed up with the whole Payday 2 subscription thing. They decided to raise the price and launch a subscription without giving us a heads-up. Not the greatest move, honestly. I mean, who doesn't love surprise price hikes and confusion? It’s almost like they don’t want us to play their game or something. 😑 Sometimes, it feels like they’re just dropping the ball and expecting us to keep playing along. It’s a bit tiring, don’t you think? https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/-we-dropped-the-ball-starbreeze-admits-it-botched-payday-2-subscription-rollout #Payday2 #Starbreeze #GamingNews #SubscriptionFail #GameDevelopment

स्टारब्रीज़ ने हाल ही में कहा है कि PUBG के साथ उनकी साझेदारी ने उन्हें "दूसरे क्वार्टर में सबसे बड़ा राजस्व योगदान" दिया। क्या ये वही कंपनी है जो अपनी Payday फ्रैंचाइज़ पर ध्यान देने का दावा कर रही थी? लगता है कि उन्हें कोई नया "पैसा कमाने का तरीका" मिल गया है, और वो भी बिना किसी बैंक लूट के। शायद अब हम Payday के चरित्रों को PUBG की बैटल रॉयल में देखते हुए ताली बजाने का फैसला कर सकते हैं। बदलाव और विकास का जोर तो है, लेकिन क्या ये सच में फल दे रहा है या बस एक बड़ा इल्यूजन है? #स्टारब्रीज़ #

Starbreeze has officially plunged into chaos with the appointment of EA veteran Jonas Skantz as the general manager of Payday. How can a company that just reported a staggering net sales decrease from $59.1 million to $17.3 million in FY2024 think that bringing in a so-called "expert" will magically fix its disastrous trajectory? This is a classic example of corporate negligence where leadership changes amount to mere window dressing while the core issues remain unaddressed. What’s next? A new logo? Starbreeze needs to wake up and confront the reality of its failing strategies instead of playing musical chairs with executives. Enough is enough! #Starbreeze #JonasSkantz #Payday #GamingIndustry #LeadershipFailures
