Iron Galaxy lays off 66 developers in 'last resort' lifesaving effort

www.gamedeveloper.com Iron Galaxy lays off 66 developers in 'last resort' lifesaving effort

After a number of cost-cutting measures, Iron Galaxy is cutting staff to ensure its 'long-term survival.'

Live service taking its toll on yet another studio.

What does this have to do with live service?
- Rumbleverse did not go well for them.
  
  I must be super behind the times. All I knew about Iron Galaxy was ports, Killer Instinct, and Divekick.

I'm sure this is going to end great for the Last of Us 2 PC port. The port of the first game was already a disaster and they had all their people.
- Don't forget their spectacular Arkham Knight port that was so good, it was delisted from Steam and Rocksteady had to come back and start the port over.
  I'm not sure they're worth saving.
- Isn’t Nixxes also working on it?
  
  I'm not sure, I only checked which projects Iron Galaxy is working on and noticed they are doing Last of Us again.
