"Long War Studios, the straightforwardly named developer of XCOM's Long War mod, continues to bung in new (smaller) mods for the game's sequel. Their latest is an update for their Muton Centurion Pack, which chucks in even more enemies to confuse, delight, and oh yes, try to murder you." - PC Gamer
Firaxis veteran Jake Solomon hasn't seen mass layoffs like this in his whole 25-year career.
Alot’s changed in 25 years. We have games with $300 mill budgets, people not interested in games other than Fortnite and Minecraft, the older generation of gamers giving up the hobby or dying off, a period of super bad inflation where the industry decided to hike up prices on games, Gamepass harming game sales, GaaS games being pushed left and right with obnoxious monetization and worse looking/playing (Suicide Squad vs Arkham Knight).
The industry is just shite right now. Games ain’t selling, games cost massive amounts, businesses can’t bleed money and this is what happens. Part of it is on them and part of it is on consumers not buying.
