Life Is Strange: True Colors Developer Deck Nine Laying Off 20 Percent Of Staff

Here’s Deck Nine’s statement, in full: 

Deck Nine game director Stephan Frost said on X (formerly Twitter) that leadership within the studio took pay cuts to keep the number of layoffs down as much as possible. “This is the strongest team [Deck Nine] has ever been and it absolutely sucks that the industry is in the state that it is presently,” Frost adds. 

Last year, more than 10,000 people in the games industry or game-adjacent industries were laid off.
