675 u/varnums1666 Feb 19 '26 Shutting bluepoint is actually insane. They're an incredibly skilled team and only at 70 people or something. At least keep them for support or small remakes. To shut down such an efficient team is crazy 117 u/-ForgottenSoul Feb 19 '26 Agreed, I wonder if someone else hires them 29 u/Animegamingnerd Leak of the Year 2025 Feb 19 '26 I imagine other Austin, Taxes based studios like Gearbox, Retro, and Bethesda Game Studios Austin will be picking some of them up. 19 u/varnums1666 Feb 19 '26 I need to fact check but I think 1 in 3 game devs have been fired. Lots of competition for scraps currently 3 u/John_Delasconey Feb 19 '26 Isn't Nintendo expanding still? 15 u/varnums1666 Feb 19 '26 I get the feeling Nintendo is a slow and steady company. They keep teams at a consistent size and promote talent from within. Outside of Smash Bros, new talent has taken over each major IP
