"Most" of the developers behind critically acclaimed Star Wars Zero Company were furloughed ahead of launch
The majority of developers behind the critically acclaimed Star Wars Zero Company were furloughed weeks before its launch due to an ownership dispute between Bit Reactor's co-founders. This has led to a significant portion of the staff being placed on unpaid leave, with a skeleton crew remaining to address bugs. While the studio hopes to rehire staff, the ongoing legal battle over company ownership casts doubt on the future.
