Looks like reports were exaggerated. I hate the amount of layoffs we've had, but this may have been a case where the studio got bigger than they needed to be. Which happened to a lot of studios during the COVID gaming boom. Hopefully this means that id will mitigate the risk of spending too much on new games and can be successful with the audience they bring in without having to set the gaming world on fire.

Same size as when they made Doom (2016). So they will survive, but the next game might take longer and be a bit of a smaller scale. Unless they outsource.

My thoughts exactly. It's been ten years, the next generation is ongoing, and studios might already have to prepare for the generation coming after the current one. The same team size simply doesn't cut it, and the downsizing will require a lot to compensate for. It's not necessarily impossible, but I wouldn't get my hopes up regarding the scope and/or release schedule of id's next game. Also, it's probably going to be more Doom.
