Today, I learned that Metacore has officially closed its operations in Germany and Sweden, resulting in 159 layoffs. This news hit hard as I was part of the team in Sweden. I had been working as a game designer for over two years, and it feels surreal to be facing this sudden change. The company cited restructuring and a shift in focus as reasons for the closure. I'm now in the process of updating my resume and reaching out to my network for new opportunities in the gaming industry.
