We’ve got some unfortunate news to share, folks. More info will be in the comments, but first - the most important thing - the staff affected. We have been spending the last few days calling studios around the world to find places for people we truly believe are among the most talented in the biz. You can find a full list of affected staff here - if you are in a position to hire them, do it. You won’t regret it. Let our loss be your gain. https://bit.ly/LoGupdate

Sad news today out of Melbourne studio League of Geeks, which has laid off half its workforce and "indefinitely paused" production on Jumplight Odyssey. In total, its more than 30 jobs that have been cut. Unofficial estimates put global #gamingindustry #layoffs at more than 7,000 this year. I've spoken with staff, studios in Australia and other industry experts about the state of the industry this year. LoG is just one example of the stark reality of making games and Australia is definitely not immune to the economic downturn and contraction that has occurred this year. https://lnkd.in/gvVpRHaU
