TL;DR

ZA/UM Studio announced layoffs of up to 32 employees across all departments two months after releasing Zero Parades: For Dead Spies, a critical success that failed to translate into expected financial performance. The studio says it is working with its labor union to manage the process. This marks another chapter in ZA/UM’s turbulent history, which includes founder exits and legal disputes, as multiple projects were canceled and spin-off studios formed in the wake of Disco Elysium’s release.
