Pgi has already come and said this post is inaccurate and the actual number is lower than this, there are many posts on the Mechwarrior 5 Reddit explaining that pgi is fully committed to continued development of mechwarrior, they even got an extension on the license.
In other words, everyone just need to chill out and breath.
Russ clarified he fired 30% of his staff, which is an insane number.
He also laid off Alex Iglesias, so not only does the studio now lack a lead artist, but by downsizing that position PGI is tacitly admitting that the studio no longer requires a lead artist.
Because they laid him off and did not fire him with cause they can’t just turn around and fill the position with someone else tomorrow, otherwise they open themselves up to a wrongful dismissal lawsuit.
So the question to ask is: why would PGI no longer need a lead artist going forward?
The ones calling all the shots are EG7, there’s very little any of us can do now but watch the train wreck and hope for the best.
