Is the entire gaming industry collapsing?
It seems like I’m reading headlines similar to this one almost daily, as of late.

Its also typical in game development, you dont need the ‘full team’ all the time, if your in preproduction you hardly need 100 programmers sitting around twiddling their thumbs
High interest rates make investing in risky projects like game development uninteresting. Why take risk if interest rates bring in high returns by themselves.
A lot of the games industry is backed by a constant flow of investment. Which has totally dried up. This company got 80 million in investment last year, this year can’t find more to keep paying the bills. Same is true for most of the announcements.
Then there is large companies like Microsoft, those layoffs are purely about paying shareholders extea money.
Here’s the same company boasting about record profits and revenue six months ago https://uk.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/DIGITAL-BROS-S-P-A-79337/news/Digital-Bros-in-9-months-sees-profit-and-revenues-on-the-rise-43821922/
Net financial position is negative EUR21 million from EUR15.2 million net of IFRS 16 and in line with expectations.
From your own article…
Ifrs 16 makes things complicated, I wouldn’t pay attention to that part unless you are interested in the specifics of the companies financials. The point is that revenue and profit were up
I didn’t realize SVB going kaput would have ramifications like this.
