When that happens, many take that time to search for other jobs. Bloomberg notes that 200 or so of its 1,300 staffers have been in these rooms and close to 100 have resigned. Even more could be departing in the months ahead.

I was keen to try out Neva, the studio’s second title, which I found feels no less poignant for its exploration of our relationship with the world and one another, and is a more than worthy spiritual successor.
