Developers Squid Shock and Stairway are unable to push console updates, and the former is resorting to Patreon while looking for a solution.

    The latter put out a statement last week affirming it too was in a rough spot from the restructure. It has “no idea” how it’ll push a console hotfix since it only has backend permission for Coral’s Steam version

    This is insane. It’s not even about firing people to fire people, which obviously affects shit. It’s that it was handled so incompetently that developers don’t have access to submit builds to platforms.

      At my last job some suits decided they were just gonna shut down a location, pink slips for everyone with little to no runway. Except there was a production data center there. And 75% of the DBA team. And key networking personnel. And a chunk of the sysadmins.

      Much backpedaling was done. It took several years to migrate those teams, and a lot of key people didn’t take kindly to having their chain yanked and simply walked. And then a few more years (and a purchase by a larger company) to fully decom the site.

      This, my friends, is the efficiencies of private enterprise in action.
