Surprisingly narrow minded and incorrect viewpoint.

Layoffs are inevitable, including at Larian studios. Otherwise they're saying all video game studios just have linear growth forever which is stupid.

People downvoting have no idea what they're talking about lol. One flop and Larian Studios will do mass lay-offs like every other studio. And no studio will make continual success after success.

Not true. They could have a decently stable developer base. That is, they don't overhire and don't "need" to have layoffs as a result.

I swear this comment was a trolling attempt or one of the bloodsucking stockholder asshats that think linear growth is a bad thing.
