Gamepires Announces Layoffs as SCUM Development Continues
Croatia-based developer Gamepires announced layoffs on the official X account for SCUM, its live open-world survival game. The studio says the downsizing is a response to harsh market conditions and a move toward long-term sustainability. Studio staff and SCUM development team members are affected; the number has not been disclosed. Gamepires says the decision is a business one and not a reflection on the team's work, and that SCUM development, updates and additional content will continue.
