In a statement on CDPR's website, CEO Adam Kiciński says the layoffs are part of "ongoing process of several deep transformations within the studio," which he considers "key to making quality games, on time and without crunch."

I'm not familiar with the company's insides, but boy does that quote read like high quality newspeak.

Yea sounds like increasing profits and putting more strain on the skeleton crew to do more.

Clearly the best way to get more done is to reduce the number of people doing work. :roll eyes:

Glad to know CDPR is now joining the ranks of companies like EA and ATVI

Gross. Infinite growth is not possible. How are these idiots not chewing and swallowing this fact?
