ZA/UM Lays Off Up to 32 After ZERO PARADES Commercial Failure
ZA/UM Studio has laid off up to 32 employees, citing poor commercial performance of its latest game ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies despite critical acclaim. The studio consulted with the ZA/UM Workers' Union, formed in October 2025 as the first recognized game studio union in the UK. The layoffs test the young union's role less than a year after its formation.
