Det har været svært at undgå det utal af fyringer blandt studier store som små det sidste års tid, og hvorimod de fleste studier har peget på makroøkonomiske udfordringer på markedet, så mener udvikleren bag Baldur's Gate III, Larian, at det er noget fis i mange tilfælde.
I et interview med Game File siger studiets Head of Publishing, Michael Douse, at de studier der påstår at fyringerne er nødvendige for overlevelse slet og ret lyver, for de fleste af dem er slet ikke truet på deres eksistens.
"They are an avoidable fuck-up. That's all they really are. That's why you see one after the other. Because companies are going: 'Well, finally. Now we can, too. We've wanted to do it for ages. Everyone else is. So why don't we?' That's really kind of sick. We should be humbled by this period. It doesn't feel like we're humbled by this period as an industry. None of these companies are at risk of going bankrupt. They're just at risk of pissing off the shareholders. And that's fine. That's how they work. The function of a public company is to create growth for its shareholders... It's not to make a happy climate for the employees."
Er du enig med Douse?
