It feels like every day I see a post about some big game development studio laying off a large chunk of their workforce. What are the causes of this?

TL;DW Everyone is playing a game and dancing a dance to attract and then keep funding. Lay offs are part of this dance. You overhire to attract an initial investment, and then do lay offs to keep it. Some companies are leading this dance, and some companies are copying the dance without really understanding why they’re doing it.
