As most of you know, we have faced multiple unexpected challenges in recent months. To adapt to these changes and secure the future of Midnight Society, DEADROP, and our commitment to providing innovative gaming experiences, we’ve made the tough decision to streamline our operations, which includes a significant workforce reduction.

Layoffs just plain suck, no matter the reason. I’ve been through it twice, and it can really make you question your self-worth. Luckily, that feeling fades once you land an even better job.
Whether this is a direct cause and effect remains to be seen, but it’s likely a mix of poor financial performance and the situation with Doc. Either way, it didn’t help. I hope those who were laid off find something better soon.

The game was dead on arrival even before Doc was banned from his own company. The real mistake was not focusing on creating the next big battle royale game.

Dead drop, literally.

That might explain why there are no job listings there. The industry is getting hit hard both on a macro and micro level, and a lot of it is the fault of the companies themselves. Just look at Ubisoft—they’re a sinking ship at this point.
