Another studio killed by the toxic AAA business model.

You're trying to make this fit your agenda but it doesn't.  A company that fails to make products that consumers want to pay for will fail in ANY industry, under ANY model.  One of Crytek's biggest misfires wasn't even "AAA", it was FTP.  Another part of the equation is the declining demand for their engine.

The fact is, Crytek hasn't been all that good at making games.  I haven't played Ryse but Crysis just kept getting worse.  Crysis 3 was mediocre in all ways and I had to force myself to finish it.  I don't know if I've ever felt so much apathy for the end of a game.  It was a complete mess.

I'm not going to cheer when people might lose jobs.  However, if Crytek is going to survive, they've got to find a way to make better games and make better business decisions.

You'd be right if this was an isolated incident, but it isn't.
