League of Geeks: Battling for Survival Amidst Layoffs and Development Halt

TL;DR Summary
Armello developer League of Geeks has laid off 50% of its staff, including the entire team behind Jumplight Odyssey, due to a funding gap. The studio was in talks with major investors to secure funding but had the rug pulled from under its feet. The layoffs announcement was made internally during an all-hands meeting. League of Geeks is hopeful that Australia's newly adopted digital games tax offset will help the studio find its feet again. The studio now has cash flow until the end of March and is focused on launching Solium Infernum.
