Epic has rocked the video game industry by laying off 16% of its workforce, nearly 900 people. While layoffs and studio closures and game cancellations are all too common in the industry, this was worse than usual, given the context in which they took place.

Because of Metaverse? Wow, that's just sad.

Of course, I've got an Epic account specifically for the weekly giveaways, and have spent no money of my own (because fuck paying for DRM if I don't have to). So I guess I'm also part of their problem? Meh.
