Scavengers Studio, Developer of Acclaimed Game Season, Hit by Massive Layoffs

Scavengers Studio, the developer behind Season, an indie game that was one of PlayStation's best exclusives, is laying off over half of its employees due to low sales. Despite critical acclaim, Season sold less than 60,000 copies in its first five months, falling far short of the studio's expectations. This decision reflects the challenging economic climate faced by the gaming industry, with layoffs affecting both indie studios and major companies. The layoffs in Scavengers Studio highlight the need for studios to adapt and survive in a highly competitive market.
