I keep hearing about layoffs, studios being closed and how the industry is troubled. Are companies losing money and sales are poor, or is it the same as Google and other companies laying off people just to pump their stock price and make money despite profitability?

Indie devs are more and more often breaking into the spotlight because AAA game publishers are failing the industry
