Deck Nine Hit With Layoffs; Life Is Strange: BTS' Farewell DLC Turns Six Years Old! ๐ดโโ ๏ธ๐ฅน | SC Ep 66
16@Player1vsTheWorld's StrangeCast is back for our first episode of March, with Adnan and Adam (who is 'being held against his will') talking all things Don't Nod Entertainment, Deck Nine and, of course, Square Enixโs Life Is Strange franchise.
For this episode of StrangeCast, Adnan and Adam celebrate the sixth anniversary of Life Is Strange: Before the Stormโs much-beloved Farewell DLC episode.
The StrangeCast hosts also turn their attention to Jusant, which won Best Sound Design at the 2024 Pegasus. Additionally, Jusant received a nomination for New Intellectual Property at the upcoming BAFTA Games Awards.
Adnan and Adam also sit down to discuss the French union SJTV and its allegations against Donโt Nod over staff welfare, with the Life Is Strange developer also responding to the claims made against them.
Speaking of Donโt Nod, we also flag that Benoit Gisbert Mora has stepped down from his role as deputy general manager at the French-based developer and publisher.
Finally, our main topic is none other than the sad news that Life Is Strange: True Colors studio Deck Nine has been forced to lay off some of its staff amid a brutal period for developers in the gaming industry.
