VR studio Schell Games cuts 40% of workforce
Original: 40 Prozent der Belegschaft: VR-Krise erreicht Traditionsstudio Schell Games Das Studio hinter der „I Expect You To Die“-
Pittsburgh-based game developer Schell Games, the studio behind the VR series 'I Expect You To Die', is laying off around 40 percent of its staff. The studio had gone more than two decades without layoffs, making the cuts a notable break with its history. The move is being linked to the broader crisis in the virtual reality gaming industry, and observers see it as a sign that the VR slump is now hitting long-established studios.
Why now: The VR industry downturn is forcing layoffs at a respected veteran studio that had avoided them for over 20 years.
