Life Is Strange: Double Exposure Developer Deck Nine Lays Off More Staff

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I’ve witnessed the highs and lows of the gaming industry. The recent news about Deck Nine Games laying off staff for the second time this year is disheartening, to say the least. It’s like watching a beloved character in a game being unceremoniously killed off, leaving a void that’s hard to fill.

Deck Nine Studios, creators behind Life is Strange: Double Exposure and other Life is Strange titles, have regrettably shared that they are reducing their workforce for a second time this year.

Late on Friday afternoon, I felt compelled to share some disappointing news coming from our Colorado-based studio, which left me feeling quite sad.

Today, I regretfully announce that we’re parting ways with some of our exceptional team members. This choice was not easy and underscores the tough circumstances many businesses in our field are experiencing now. We can’t thank enough each person who brought their dedication, passion, and commitment to creating groundbreaking entertainment alongside us.

He went on: “To those of you departing our studio because of these alterations, thank you for gracing us with your skills. We take great pride in what we’ve achieved together, and we pledge to help you navigate this transition as smoothly as possible. To our community, we appeal for your support and patience during these challenging moments.
