When a generator is completed, this perk activates, and a random dull totem on the map lights up into a hex totem. When a hex totem for this perk is active, a random survivor is chosen to be unemployed. The unemployed survivor suffers a -100% speed in repairing, healing, vaulting, opening gates, unlocking a chest, cleansing totems and whatever the fuck they do. This per deactivates once the hex totem is cleansed. This perk reactivates once another generator is completed.

I havent seen it myself, but many of my friends were reporting it happening to them, so that also isnt fixed. crazy how the twins rework update severely broke the game again.

Based on the statement they released, it's unlikely that this will get even remotely close to touching DBD and rather this is focused on spin-off projects or exploratory work they may have been doing. "Focusing on historical strengths" is usually corporate code for "no new projects, cut those, keep the main cash cow." Not to say any of this is good, but it's expected. Odds are the issues with Meet Your Maker did not help when it comes to this. Somebody probably ran the numbers for projects those team members were working on, saw it cost more than they could reasonably make based on performance, and ended up making the cuts. Sucks to be those employees, though :( only good thing I can think of is the fact that Canada at least has some protections for these types of workers. They should be getting minimum 2 weeks notice from employers plus vacation indemnity pay, though I'm no labor lawyer.

Both Mortal Kombat 1 and Immortals of Aveum wrapped up late 2023. I'm not sure how much of a lift Behavior gives to their partner projects but this could track their hiring stage. I suspect, from the wording of the 4th paragraph, that they anticipated greater growth in contract work than what transpired ("renewed its focus on historical strengths" suggests expansion gone awry). There's other possibilities, such as unannounced project being cancelled before going public, or an overzealous attempt to expand their publishing side. Hard to say without seeing the positions impacted by the layoffs.

"Boon: Consolidation" "It's not great, but at least there's less mouths to feed." This perk activates after blessing a totem and at least 1 survivor has died. For each dead survivor, all survivors within the killer's terror radius gain the following benefits: +10% to Healing Speed, totem blessing / cleansing speeds, Exit gate unlocking speed, and 25% to generator repair speed. The effects are doubled if a HEX totem is cleansed. If a survivor dies while Boon: Consolidation is active, the Boon is automatically snuffed. This perk goes on cooldown for 30 seconds if the totem containing Boon: Consolidation is snuffed by any means.

Just to put things into perspective 1300 people is a lot in a gaming industry. CD project red has 627 game devs. 100 are on shared projects, 17 on cyberpunk and 403 on the next witcher. I know that there are more people in cd not just game devs but still. But still. What are they doing with 1300 people when they have only one game and when everything else they make is a flop. Needles to say, the people that got fired could be ex Meet your Maker devs because they game just died (5 people at the moment, 20 people 24 hour peak according to steamcharts). Heck, even on Gta VI are working around less then 1000 people. If i remember correctly it was around 800 and that includes everything, not just game devs.

BOON: Corporate Greed

@briangiese2628 Ай бұрын

Companies lay people off. They get severance packages and can get a new job. Its just life working for a corporation impacts a lot of us. If you work for a company like this, you are a dice roll away of getting laid off.

Hopefully Behavior had enough decency to tell them a month before hand.

Markets change and businesses must react and adapt or die. I just hope they laid off the right people. For comparisons sake, Larian Studios has 470 employees. Just saying.

Guess the new chapter didn't sell as well as they thought it would

I don't think they'd lay off 95 people based on just a day after the chapter came out

Their every project but Dead by Daylight (pre-DbD games don't count) has flopped so no wonder.

Riot, who developped Valorant, League of Legends, TFT, Legends of Runeterra, and some other indie type video games : 4200+ employees. You're telling me that BHVR who developped basically just 1 successful game has almost 1/3rd of Riot's employees ? O_O
