Industry closures and downsizing thread.

Speaking of Crystal D, the larger corporation that bought the rights to the Crystal D developed Soul Reaver Kain series, delivered well on a remaster of the Soul Reaver 1 and 2 games, which were greatly appreciated by many fans. They did a nice job and kept the games affordable, and even offered a deluxe disc version with a collectible book, steelbook tin and double music CD from the games. Really nice.

I think those going to school to develop video games may be wasting their money on College cost degrees, when that money would be better saved, as they could easily teach themselves programming and development and make their own games, or create assets and use those to get hired.

The larger the developer, the easier it would be to lose the job I think as of 2025. The big studios have too much weight to carry with too many employees, and if they aren't raking in the profits, they won't survive carrying all of the extra help. Cuts made unfortunately.
