""Ever since 2020, when everything about making video games started to change, people have been waiting for business 'to get back to normal.' These are the conversations we've had with colleagues and partners on our travels to the places where game creators gather.""
""Players consume games in new ways. Publishers have different criteria for investing in the development of games. This new normal has impacted all our partners. As Iron Galaxy adapts, we must make painful decisions about what we can be as a company.""
Iron Galaxy, a game company known for porting games, is laying off up to 90 employees following the release of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 remaster. The company acknowledged that the gaming industry has changed since 2020, leading to a new normal in player consumption and publisher investment. As a result, Iron Galaxy must make difficult decisions regarding its workforce size, which has been unsustainable despite previous downsizing efforts. The studio has a history of supporting major franchises and recently faced challenges with its original IP, Rumblerverse.
