One of the laid-off developers who worked on the now-canceled The Sims competitor Life by You has described the situation as a "real shit show" and claims the team "spent a month in purgatory" trying to prove that the game was worth launching.
This comes from a LinkedIn post from game designer Willem Delventhal, who confirmed yesterday that he's been affected by the layoffs at Paradox Tectonic, which has been shut down. Delventhal says he'd "known for some time that we might be getting shut down," but "we were doing extremely well" on the game.
