Star Wars Zero Company Studio Brings Furloughed Devs Back After a Strong Launch

Bit Reactor CEO Greg Foertsch said on October 7 the studio has started returning furloughed staff to work. Around 80% of the team was reportedly sidelined without pay before the tactics game launched in late August because money was running out. Newzoo ranked Star Wars Zero Company the sixth-best PC game of August by revenue across six major Western markets, and Foertsch promised more updates "soon."

  2. Did buying Zero Company at launch actually save jobs here?
  3. What should Bit Reactor fix first now that the team is returning?
