Dwarf Fortress creator blasts execs behind brutal industry layoffs: 'They can all eat s***, I think they're horrible… greedy, greedy people' | Tarn Adams doesn't mince words when it comes to the dire state of the games industry.

At this year's GDC, the Dwarf Fortress maker came out swinging against a brutal climate of layoffs, cancellations, and general downsizing across the games industry, declaring that the executives responsible can "all eat shit." Well, maybe, although I admit I struggle to imagine writing a headline along the lines of " Microsoft cuts 1,900 jobs at Activision and Xbox" about the brothers behind Dwarf Fortress. But for now, Tarn and Zach Adams say it's full-steam ahead with DF's development and incoming Adventure Mode update, which hits this April.
