Maybe I am just out of the loop, or fail to connect the dots. What's with a whole bunch of gaming companies laying off people or canceling projects? Is it simply the bad economy all over the world? Because that has been going on for a while, so why so many companies doing this just now, and all at once? A lot of games have been shit too for a while, so it's probably not that either. Do they have to publish quarterly reports in the upcoming days, and are trying to get ahead of the bad news by pretending that they have already done something about the issue?

- there are new B2B AI services to create concept art and 3d models beyond what's available to consumers, so a lot of artists are being fired everywhere.
- much of the industry money continues to be increasingly distributed among indie games. Big companies have less market share with every passing year.
