Humble Games layoffs leave indie studios in a state of uncertainty


Many developer worries are focused around console ports.

“To the best of my understanding, Humble Games is fulfilling their contractual obligations to us, so changing publishers would be an extremely uphill battle,” says Matthew Taylor of Rolling Hills developer Catch & Release. Cody Greenhalge, technical director at#Blud developer Exit 73 Studios, tells The Verge that the Powell Group has “worked well with us and we are hopeful our game won’t have any long lasting effects from this ordeal.” “It’s still too early to know how efficiently all these new folks can work together and get onboarded quickly, but in the case of our game we only need someone to help us get new updates to Microsoft and manage discounts and events, so I think we’ll be OK,” Taylor says.
