To be slightly more specific

1. If AC Shadows underperformed and accounting of its loss was not properly maintained, it can force them to re-evaluate. Since loses on Star Wars and Avatar were measured long ago.

2. The split into several companies makes evaluation much harder too, since it's unclear who owns what and who can do what with resources.

Those are the two most possible scenarios.

While OpenAI is running out of money to burn, NVIDIA is giving up on their $100Bn investment package they kinda announced in SEPTEMBER. Now they will "participate but not with that amount of money".

In private conversations NVIDIA shared that OpenAI is not doing their best and not working hard anymore to really improve the tech. And that every competitor is doing a better job.

The MMO that has been in development for 9 YEARS, then hit early access on Steam, reached 30K CCU, and promised to fix all the issues, is probably gonna be taken down.

The game director left the company due to the conflict with investors (who started to send orders to other team members without notifying him or other managers).

And when he left, the studio members are seemingly being kicked out without the final paycheck (According to insider-gaming, DIscord, and Reddit)
