OtherSide Entertainment lays off 18 from Thick as Thieves team

OtherSide Entertainment laid off 18 employees from its Thick as Thieves team, bringing total cuts to 36 staff in one month following the June cancellation of a game codenamed Argos. The studio reduced Thick as Thieves' scope from a larger competitive multiplayer immersive sim to a $5 single-player and co-op title. A company spokesperson cited lengthy development cycles in the immersive-sim genre as increasingly commercially unviable, though the studio retains fewer than 10 employees for maintenance support on Thick as Thieves.
