Dozens of Crytek employees reportedly laid off after Crysis 4 cancellation (translated)
Player agency: how policy constrains it, how the industry shapes it, how narrative design realizes it.
After Crysis 4 was cancelled, dozens more employees were reportedly laid off from Crytek's offices in Istanbul and Frankfurt in early September, with workers described as having been caught off guard. The consequences of the cancellation have therefore extended to the development team, affecting more than just the game players had originally been looking forward to.

Sakigarasu's Take
The cost of cancelling a game does not fall only on players' backlogs; it also falls on the people who actually lose their jobs and creative opportunities. Players can look forward to a project, but they cannot treat an unreleased game as a stable promise; when the industry pushes the risk onto developers, the delays and cancellations players see are merely the final layer of the outcome.
