Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour to lay off 95 employees

[John Elden Ring]

Behaviour Interactive will lay off up to 95 staff, 70 of them in its Montreal office, the company announced.

In a press release, the company announced "structural changes" to pursue a "clarified vision," which has led it to its decision to make staff redundant.

The studio shared its growth trajectory from 575 to 1,300 employees over the past five years, saying it expanded following the industry's remarkable growth. "However, the industry’s unprecedented popularity has also led to unprecedented competition," the company wrote, saying its focus has now narrowed back to its "historical strengths," including horror.

Behaviour Interactive has revealed that up to 95 employees will be laid off amid ‘strategic changes’ to the company’s operating model. This news comes mere months after a wave of redundancies saw 40 workers lose their jobs at the firm. In a press release, Behaviour’s representatives confirmed that a driving reason for these layoffs is the ‘unprecedented competition’ running through the gaming industry at present.

That doesn't surprise me:

A tad too quickly no? But also their recent non-Dead By Daylight were massive flops.
Tell me if you've even heard of these two games: Deathgarden(2018) and Meet Your Maker(2023)

At some point the money the DBD is making is not enough to support the headcount.
