If anyone was following this fiasco, they basically launched Dauntless on Steam with a major update that completely wrecked the game and removed much of its content. Dauntless was already struggling and went in weird directions during development but this was the final nail in the coffin, and the company seems to have totally gone under.

Woah, you worked there? Got any stories on how things went down?
Many. Unfortunately I also can’t talk about them, yet.
That sucks, I hope you’re doing alright after the layoffs. Hopefully things improve in this industry…
