Fortunately, it seems that the reasons are different from those of its market rivals, and that the scale is also much smaller.
According to the trade journalist Jason Schreierfrom the financial portal Bloomberg, the company has laid off workers especially in its Private Division branch, its third publisher in charge of titles such as Kerbal Space Program 2, The Outer Worlds and a new Middle-earth game whose name has not been revealed, among others.
