Don't Nod obviously employs more than the 69 people that are at stake. It would be called a foreclosure instead of a restructuring if it wasn't the case
Late-stage capitalism (specifically public companies) are rather incompatible with singleplayer or "one-off" games that don't have a long revenue tail of a live season or multiple DLCs/expansions. That really sucks for the whole games industry, players and developers alike.

Nothing is more capitalistic than laying off your workers to get passable Q4 values. Absolutely disgusting.

Pretty soon going on strike will be a felony

I dare them. Striking is the peaceful compromise.

How effective is a strike when everyone is getting laid off anyways?

Ideally if you fired striking workers the NLRB would get involved. Not so sure anymore.

Why? Shouldn't they be working on another game after releasing the first?

They brought that one upon themselves imo. They were privately owned for 10 years before their IPO in 2018

Turns out they do actually "nod" (to their corporate overlords)
