Knee jerk reaction: RIP Remedy.

However Finnish work culture is quite different to US and even other places in Europe, the CEO may not have as much control (heh) as he would in other places and I think he'll find it harder to start laying people off left and right, although the current government is trying their best.

Max Payne was a classic and I liked Alan Wake, but since Control and Alan Wake 2 theyve been one of my favourite studios. I didnt care about FBC Firebreak because online MP isn't my thing but I didnt blame them them for taking a swing at it.

Unfortunately they are publicly owned, although its about 30% the founders, so this kind of thing has been coming for a while I guess.
