Looks like some of the team behind Marvel Rivals including the game director has ben laid off by NetEase, majority of which are from North America. There is no details on how many employees were let go, but it's surprising considering how well the game is doing at the moment. A game that's this successful, shouldn't see their employees laid off. Or so you'd think. 

Do you think we'll keep seeing these layoffs? Even with studios that are showing success as of late?

Only in the gaming industry and things like the software industry you'll see crap like this. It's one of the nonsensical and bizarre practice that has been around for quite some time and it just doesn't compute why gaming companies want to shoot themselves in the foot that badly.

It's disheartening to see layoffs in successful studios like those behind Marvel Rivals. It raises concerns about the industry's stability and the prioritization of profit over people. Unfortunately, if trends continue, more layoffs may occur even amidst success. It's troubling.
