Generate electricity for love! "Split Door 2" founder gives up salary and announces job suspension

　　According to IGN, the developer of "Split Gate 2" 1047 Games has confirmed personnel adjustments, and the studio's co-founder announced that he would give up all salaries to concentrate resources to improve the quality of the game.

This free game caused controversy when it was released due to the launch of a micro-transaction portfolio package of up to $145. It has only received "mixed" reviews on the Steam platform. SteamDB data shows that the peak number of online players in this game is only 25,785, a significant decline from the 67,724 players in the previous game "Split Gate".

　It should be pointed out that the Steam data does not contain host platform players. The developer claims that the total number of players in the game has exceeded 2.5 million, but the market performance is obviously not up to expectations. 1047 Games confirmed in a statement released by LinkedIn that the layoffs involved a "few" of employees, and the two founders will be suspended from pay during the next development phase of the project.

Although the studio has not announced the specific scale of layoffs, many core members have confirmed their resignation on the social platform. It is worth noting that as of press time, the number of online users of the game Steam has fallen below the 10,000 mark.

　　It is worth mentioning that co-founder Proulx's behavior of wearing the slogan hat "MAKE FPS GREAT AGAIN" during his speech at the Summer Game Festival has caused controversy. The studio then clarified through its official account, saying that the move only expressed concerns about the current insufficient innovation in FPS games and had no other meaning.
