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

      Well luckily every game studio only ever makes successful games and Larian will never make a flop. Right?

      Just like other great studios like CPDR. Or Blizzard… Oh…

      I swear people are just idiots or have zero memory.

        Except the companies aren’t doing layoffs because of a flop or a bad release.

        They’re doing them explicitly because shareholder expectations of profit growth were not met.
