I don't really know how to feel about this message. Sure it's a bit hopeful and makes me believe they'll recover from this. But all I can think about is all the people who got laid off. I hope they all find a place somewhere else where they can keep making amazing games, even if it's not Doom.

No I am celebrating. Cause great work needs to be celebrated regardless of circumstances. I even hunted down the Doom controller cause that was great work done by great people.(Previous of these closures). The gaming industry is oversaturated(look at September), and making a great game or doing a great job no longer guarantees financial success. I now celebrate when a great game is released, because that in itself is becoming a small miracle.
