  "account": "Warhammer 40,000 studio Auroch Digital has reportedly undergone significant layoffs, though the announcement was quickly removed from their LinkedIn page. Despite the studio's creative successes, including games like Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 and Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War, it seems market conditions have now impacted the company as well. Auroch Digital is restructuring, with around a quarter of its employees affected by the redundancies. The studio's announcement was quickly deleted, leaving no trace aside from being reported by gaming sites. Two employees are reportedly aware of the redundancy notification, though the reason behind the abrupt deletion remains unclear.",
  "summary": "Auroch Digital just released Boltun 2 two weeks ago, and it's got Warhammer Survivors lined up for launch in November.",
