[QUOTE="Admin, post: 62863, member: 1"] Singularity 6 is the latest studio to be hit by layoffs, with the Palia developer confirming in a statement sent to IGN that it has laid off around 35 percent of its workers. Reports of Singularity 6's layoffs emerged Thursday when workers began posting the new on X/Twitter and other social media platforms. They included at least one environmental artist, an engineer, and other developers woking on Palia. In its statement, Singularity 6 described it as a decision intended to "deliver the highest-quality gameplay service for long-term stability." A free-to-play "massively multiplayer community sim," Palia released to early access in October and Nintendo Switch in December.
