As a counterpart, if you have to layoff that many people, is it really the right time to also put the stress of a leadership shift into the company? I can see the argument for this triggering an eventual change, but having _both_ the chock

I will say, this is why I love the JVM so much. Runs on everything, I can pull, compile and build this game easily without worrying about any kind of platform specific library issue unlike open source c++ games I've tried to compile
