Hi-Rez Studios, a video game developer, has laid off 30% of its workforce, which amounts to approximately 40 to 50 employees. This decision comes as the company ends development on three of its games: Paladins, Realm Royale, and Rogue Company. The layoffs and game terminations are part of a strategic pivot to focus on other projects. The Heritage Foundation, a think tank, has released a manifesto that could potentially impact the game development industry, but specific details on how it would affect Hi-Rez or the broader community were not provided in the article.
