If knowledge if power, why are game companies setting it alight?
Recent waves of layoffs in the video game industry, including significant cuts at Microsoft, are leading to a devastating loss of institutional knowledge. This collective wisdom, crucial for development workflows and efficiency, is often undocumented and passed between colleagues. Companies like Nintendo are highlighted as prioritizing the preservation of this knowledge, while others risk reinventing the wheel and facing increased crunch due to employee turnover.
