Obviously, feel bad for the devs and hope they can land on their feet. I also am hoping that Anno can survive these Ubisoft cuts…

Yet people keep rewarding this awful behavior (at this company and others) with their wallets.

They reported a €1.3 billion loss for the past financial year, so clearly not many are opening their wallets for them.

We don’t have sales numbers to work with, but they sponsor videos and do all kinds of stuff. Especially with all the AI hype, they could be unwisely using their money. Only they know that, however. They’ve not done right by many of their employees nor consumers for more than the last fiscal year, though.
In general, the whole ‘game studio builds thing then lays people off’ is just gross to me. Here in Japan, we don’t have that because it would be illegal. Companies have to be more prudent in their hiring, planning, spending, and saving. All workers should have those rights and I try to avoid giving money to companies that do not grant them.
