  1. Reduction of fixed expenses

We will implement reduction of various fixed expenses at several group companies in relevant region, centered on the Creative Assembly Ltd. We expect to incur one-time expenses related to reduction of fixed expenses.

The only "reduction of fixed expense" necessary here is whoever was supposed to keep their finger on the pulse of the industry, yet still decided to greenlight such an obviously late-to-the-party pitch in such an oversaturated part of the market, and chose to waste the time of a studio that has a successful monopoly in an underserved niche and could have been contributing to that kind of project instead.

Hyenas was absolutely not well received. A little late to cancel but better to cut losses than to keep them going.

TW Warhammer 3 fans are enjoying it. But this news wouldn't lend well to that game either, considering that the layoffs are gonna fuck even TWWH3 surely.

This may have just been local to the Total War Warhammer subreddit, but they weren't particularly fond of it blaming Hyenas for the lack of TWWH3 stuff.
