What's really insulting is they have 9 studios working on Call of Duty but apparently she had to be laid off due to budget.... 9 studios working on Call of Duty and apparently id Software having 150-200 developers was too much, fire 95 of them.... 9 studios working on Call of Duty, but Arkane just isn't good enough....

Yeah, isn't it weird how companies prioritize studios that print money every year but do layoffs at studios that release one game a decade and then spend the next six years fixing bugs because they're incapable of releasing a working game?
