Frenzgyn Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Beamdog's forum again under maintainance? I get a "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable" since yesterday, but the main site works... any news about it? Quote Link to comment

The numerous downtimes lately may be related to the recent layoffs. That doesn't bode well for the future of the forum. Quote Link to comment

argent77 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I'm especially worried about that line: Quote This is the latest in a string of layoffs and studio closures Embracer has sanctioned, with the company attempting to streamline operations to become a "highly cash-flow generative business." It looks like this is an ongoing process that has most likely not yet ended. Quote Link to comment
Graion Dilach Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Apparently Embracer lost a $2 billion (with a b) deal earlier this year, and it fell apart approximately in the last minute. If Beamdog only lose those people ultimately, it still ends up more lucky than Volition which was closed down outright - the studio's smaller scale might be good for it in this regard.
