Borderlands was a betrayal simulator i didn’t really played Guardians of the Galaxy.

GoT was essentially the same as TWD.

However the gameplay was essentially identical across all of them a semi interactive cut scene that is broken by QTEs which don’t have a major impact on the overall story arc they at best just shift a few characters around the events still unfold as they are.

Expensive licenses and a repetitive “point and click” gameplay with dwindling sales just doesnt work and I don’t think it was a surprise to the upper management or the board. And I’m actually surprised it came as a surprise to employees who should’ve been aware of poor sales and high costs.

I don’t know where you work, but I can count on one finger the places where I actually knew the companies financial situation.

You can try to guess based on sales and nr of employees, but it’s hardly an exact science.

If you're not a founder or investor it's not worth worrying about since there's little you can legally do to remedy/fix the situation...the question is at what point as an employee do you become complacent enough to see a lot of strange behavior and decide not to leave.

IMO we give a lot of credit to these large companies and trust them to do right by us when they fire us/lay us off/we leave. I feel bad for all the people who worked at TTG that had no savings and no idea that this could happen. This certainly has the ability to make modern day slaves out of those that were blindsided by possible medical expenses, debt, and/or the struggle to find a new gig.

You are quick to blame the victims for being complacent, and at the same time you don't realize how important it is to know your company's financials when making employment decisions. Just because you can think of some strawman to burn, don't assume you're so much cleverer than everyone else.

Is it an opportunity to start a side project with former TTG employees?

There are always alarm bells, free fruitbowls disappearing, drinks fridge replaced by vending machines and suchlike.
