Wayfinderjev studio Airship Syndicate pravi, da so odpuščanja potrebna, da se zagotovi "lahko še naprej deluje in zagotavlja odlične izkušnje"

iskalnik poti razvijalec Airship Syndicate je potrdil odpuščanje 12 zaposlenih, o čemer je prvotno poročal Nicole Carpenter Polygona, kot del prizadevanj, da bi studio ohranil odprt in deloval. Z nenavadnim preobratom je Airship Syndicate povedal, da bosta tudi predsednik podjetja Ryan Stefanelli in izvršni direktor Joe Madureira znižala plače.

“I can confirm that today we had to part ways with 12 of our coworkers,” an Airship Syndicate rep said in a statement provided to PC Gamer. “This decision was made to ensure that Airship Syndicate can continue to operate and deliver great experiences. In addition to reducing staff, Ryan Stefanelli, President, and Joe Madureira, CEO, will be reducing their pay while we work to secure our future plans.”

The rep added that there are currently 80 people “working full-time on Wayfinder.”

How much of a cut Stefanelli and Madureira will take wasn’t specified. It’s a bit unusual for studio executives to take pay cuts during times of trouble—typically they just skate medtem ko glavni razvijalci ostanejo brez dela – vendar ne povsem brez primere: nekdanji Activision Izvršni direktor Blizzarda Bobby Kotick je vzel znatno znižanje plače in 2021 amidst the company’s workplace misconduct scandal, which notably included his massive bonusi— prejšnje znižanje plače, objavljeno v začetku tistega leta, mu je pustilo polovico izplačila bonusa nedotaknjeno.

Wayfinder je bil videti zelo obetaven, ko smo preverili zgodnja beta leta 2023, vendar izstrelitev nekaj mesecev pozneje ni uspela, predvsem zaradi težave s strežnikom that caused extended wait times for people who jumped into the early access launch. The result is a “mixed” user rating on Parna, where just 47% of user reviews are currently positive. Less than three months after Wayfinder launched, publisher Digital Extremes pulled the plug on its publishing division and handed “popoln nadzor” of the game back to Airship Syndicate.

Despite the cuts, the Airship Syndicate rep said that “this is not the end for Wayfinder,” and that more information about the game’s future will be revealed soon.
