Chris Stair, one of the creators of action platformer Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus, was in Kyoto celebrating the game's launch at indie festival BitSummit when he got the news: The publisher he'd trusted with all of the launch logistics was effectively gone. All 36 employees had been laid off.
"We had a Slack channel with everyone in it, and then you see them leaving one by one," said Stair, who recently spoke to PC Gamer about Bō's launch.
