'This is such a weird industry': Marvel Rivals lays off NA-based team amid explosive success
Briefly

Marvel Rivals, a successful new game by NetEase, has attracted hundreds of thousands of players, especially on Steam. Unfortunately, the game's development team was recently laid off, including key designers like Garry McGee and Jack Burrows. Game director Thaddeus Sasser expressed his disbelief at the industry's volatility, noting how a talented team that contributed to the game's success faced unexpected job losses. The game continues to thrive, ranking among the top five games with active users, set to introduce new heroes soon.
This is such a weird industry," Sasser wrote, "My stellar, talented team just helped deliver an incredibly successful new franchise in Marvel Rivals for NetEase Games [...] and were just laid off!"
The team focused on 'coming up with new level design mechanics, gameplay mechanics, and so on,' for the superhero shooter.
