Ustwo Games CEO Maria Sayans recently came under quite a bit of heat for an interview with Game Developer at London Games Fest, people caught onto the following: "We've been a little bit too romantic about the idea that we should have employees and give people long-term job security," when discussing Ustwo's strategy—specifically how the studio's current state seems unsustainable.
"If we did something like Alba or Assemble With Care, we would have to do that for a lot less money," Sayans explains. "There are people doing really, really well in those spaces on PC for much smaller budgets, that we will never be able to achieve because we're based in London and have employees with pensions and so on."
