It would be dispiriting to see an accomplished studio like this being shuttered.OlliOlli2 is one ofmy favourite games of all time. I own it on three platforms. I played it so much I brokethe top 50 on the leaderboards. After that,OlliOlli World was an incredible and colourful updateon everything that made their skateboarding so responsive, wild, and focused. That’s not to mention the giffable joy of Rollerdrome, whichour review called “polished and precise”.
Layoffs are a painful, anxiety-inducing wound to those hit. At the risk of being vULneRaBLe oNLiNe, I was also unexpectedly let go from a games industry job only a month ago due to knock-on effects from what may be colloquially referred to as “Embracer bullshit”. I get why it happened but… it sucked! My thoughts and best wishes go out to anyone caught up in Take-Two’s decisions.
