        Contracting feels like the wrong word. It’s not gaining less money. It’s gaining more. Just companies are now converting their buyouts to simply IP grabs.

          Live service games that were fully developed are being cancelled at the finish line because they don’t think they’ll make that money back. Companies like Bioware have laid off a bunch of developers in advance of marquis releases, but if everything was rosy, they’d definitely want those developers around through launch. Smaller studios have been hit too.

    Yeah, some offense, but the Triple-Eh companies have been “dying” for over a decade now and it doesn’t look like they’re actually going anywhere anytime soon. Unfortunately.
