Some Game Devs Deserve the Layoffs

A few weeks ago I made a video about Highguard. I played it. I gave it a fair shot. And I told you it was boring. Since then, the studio behind Highguard, Wildlight Entertainment, laid off most of their team. Sixteen days after launch. The game hemorrhaged players from 97,000 on day one to a few thousand within two weeks. Highguard, for all intents and purposes, is on life support with a skeleton crew that may or may not be able to keep the lights on. That's bad. And I feel for the developers who lost their jobs. But one of those developers wrote an article post on X explaining where their head is at after the whole thing. And my friends, this article is one of the most revealing things I've read about the state of the gaming industry in a long time. For years' worth of videos, we constantly speculate as to what’s going wrong in gaming, but here now, a developer grieving their job and years' worth of work has accidentally exposed what the people making AAA games think about the people playing them. • • • Shoutout @DashAttackVT for the Missing Points segment. • • • Try the Wizard's Hot Cocoa https://FakeWizard.com • • • Discover NEW Games from Indie Developers Visit https://FakePortal.com • • • Indie Game Shoutouts are provided solely for informational/editorial purposes and are not sponsored, endorsed, or otherwise paid for; Fake Portal is offered as a free resource.
