The instability of the video game industry is always surprising. It is the medium that generates the most money in the world, but somehow, it is unable to ensure survival within it<\/strong>. Something that is explained by absurd budgets and the tendency to not take risks<\/a>. But within the terrible stories, something particularly strange happened this weekend. Even for the video game industry.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Possibility Space studio has permanently closed its doors. This studio was created in 2021 by Jeff Strain, producing a AAA game with a Vonnegut-inspired man in the lead role, as he told in an interview with IGN. On April 12, Strain laid off the entire studio via email, announcing the closure of Possibility Space<\/strong>. All of this comes after the closure of another studio, Crop Circle Games, which was also part of the corporation owned by Strain, Prytania Media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the reason for this sudden decision? According to Strain’s email, published by reporter Nicole Carpenter from Polygon<\/a>, the fact that Vonnegut was going to appear in an article published by Kotaku. According to him, after receiving questions about Vonnegut, he had an emergency meeting with his publisher and in that same meeting, it was decided that he would no longer receive funding from them<\/strong>. This led to the cancellation of the project, but also to the closure of the two studios. Something that is, at the very least, strange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a bizarre studio closure and layoff message to staff, Possibility Space owner Jeff Strain blamed the studio closure on employees leaking information to the press. pic.twitter.com\/d4OHrm3z2N<\/a><\/p>— Nicole Carpenter (@sweetpotatoes) April 12, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote>
