lol.

Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors said that the current reduction in workforce at the company and across the industry is "something that everyone needs to get through," later adding that the group's strategy has been to cut the things that have "the lowest chance of success going forward" and to only keep "the most iconic studios."

I've just been through a recent round of layoffs, though I luckily avoided sacking, and let me tell you the collective hurt that layoffs cause, even among those who remain, makes me think that each person leaving should get to punch each deciding executive once.

Only one punch? Letting them off easy, I see.
