Hopefully, most of the game industry workers who lost their jobs could find new jobs soon.

If it costs money to make games, then someone making them on the bottom end of the work spectrum has to leave to make ends meet. It costs a lot to pay people and keep a standard. That being said I wonder if the games will still be considered bad because of it in the future.

I wonder if the quality of games will be noticeablely more bad after some game companies lay off many workers.
