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

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

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

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
