Wonder what happened to The Initiative for such a massive loss when they should be set up for non-stop growth, have they been a part of January mass layoffs?
Are they being poached?

Also, their site also does not expose any job opportunities and their security certificate is non-valid and appears to have been in this state since last December.

It's relatively old news but the gist of it is that The Initiative changed approach from what they were setup as which caused a large amount to leave (difference of opinions basically on what direction the studio should take) and since Crystal Dynamics is doing the bulk of development they don't need a lot of employees anymore, only the creative leads. This happened about a year or so ago, they've remained at this level of employees since then so there's no notable continued declined, those who stayed side with the new vision, those who left didn't.

Basically they're like World's Edge or Mistwalker now.
