Behaviour Interactive will lay off up to 95 staff, 70 of them in its Montreal office, the company announced.

In a press release, the company announced "structural changes" to pursue a "clarified vision," which has led it to its decision to make staff redundant.

The studio shared its growth trajectory from 575 to 1,300 employees over the past five years, saying it expanded following the industry's remarkable growth. "However, the industry’s unprecedented popularity has also led to unprecedented competition," the company wrote, saying its focus has now narrowed back to its "historical strengths," including horror.

1300 people working on Dead By Daylight?!? What a waste of labor.

 

[Mercador]

Behavior is doing more than videogames, they are doing websites as well unless that changed recently.

 

[dorkimoe]

This is why dev time takes so long, devs are just trying to stay employed as long as possible

 

[Nankatsu]

Guess they're not behaving correctly.

That's fucking crazy.
It shouldn't take that many people to make such a soulless and mediocre game.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Looks like the whole studio might be…dead by daylight.

I’ll see myself out.

 

[Bert Big Balls]

1300 lmao

 

[DeepEnigma]

First of all, where are most of that 1300 located?

The fuck is that?!

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

They should have accepted the night shift.

That's because it's not even remotely true.

Behaviour Interactive have been involved with 10 different games since DBD. They are also soulless, mediocre games, but I digress.

The excuse is always because of growth during Covid… Good God lol.

nice. I hate this company and everyone who works for them. I hope they starve while celebrating their pride month.

Great Dungeons & Dragons chapter came out yesterday

I’ve always thought they had a huge number of employees for the games they make and support on.

 

[winjer]

Probably, to be replaced by AI.

It’s because it’s true. The gaming industries profits dropped like 30% because people are doing more than gaming now. Considering the billion dollar industry that is, it dropped quite a bit.
