But several people also noted that the games industry goes through cycles of mass layoffs, because simply having a stable business isn't enough for investors. Revenues must grow by a chunky margin: if they don't, costs must be cut. Embracer's mishandling of their business might be grotesque, but it's business as usual nonetheless.

"It goes into a lot of now very wealthy peoples' pockets, and the people who actually make the games kind of scrape by, most of the time."
