But, we're human, and humans can be pretty stupid or just generally clumsy.

They even closed profitable studios they could have continued to pay, that just did not bring the numbers right now (because too far away from release). That was a knife cutting half of the known studios in my country. Just spoke with a developer few days ago that was in one of these studios at the time under THQ Nordics banner.

Many of those just joined THQ Nordic to have a stable income without to look for new contracts with every new game. They tried to avoid the situation where they want to produce their next game without finding a publisher spending money, which would be the end of their studio. But this situation leaded to the end of many studios after Corona when Life was going to become normal again. What a sad irony.
