Last week, Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive laid off an at-the-time undisclosed number of its employees. It claimed that these individuals were largely affiliated with “mobile and casual external development projects” and were being let go due to a decrease in demand for such projects. But the company also confirmed to Kotaku that developers on its flagship horror franchise Dead by Daylight were among those laid off, and the timing of the cuts, so closely following both a recent union push at the company as well as unrest over changing policies, has some questioning the motives behind the cuts.
