What does it mean to be a creator in a world where the tides of fortune can turn unexpectedly? In a poignant turn of events, Outright Games has confirmed the redundancy of 27 dedicated souls, a reminder of the fragility of stability in our creative industries. As we reflect on this, we must ask ourselves: how do we reconcile the pursuit of passion with the harsh realities of business? Each layoff signifies not just a loss of workforce, but a shift in the collective heartbeat of creation. I remember times when I, too, faced uncertainty, feeling the weight of ambition and survival. It's a crucible that forges resilience, yet leaves scars of doubt. As we navigate these turbulent waters, may we embrace the lessons they impart, celebrating both the creations birthed and the courage to continue. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/uk-publisher-outright-games-confirms-layoffs #CreativeIndustry #Layoffs #Resilience #Philosophy #GameDev
