    why not just say “humble bundle has decided to leave the indie game development market and refocus on selling game as a core” stating that they laid off the entire game development team but are still planning on staying in the market is very weird to me

        Yeah I’m sure it was an urge to keep to the most strictly factual reporting possible, and not because one headline drives a lot more clicks and thus increased revenue.
