The Truth About The Company Behind Your Gaming Payments - This is Xsolla
5,149150 employees laid off by "big data and AI".
Most people probably don't know who Xsolla are or what they do. But they process payments for quite a lot of the games you've likely played or still play today. They've recently been involved in some controversy that hasn't reached the western game press yet apparently, so here's the scoop. Two lawsuits, alleged threats against CEOs of partnered businesses. This is of course the business being sued by backers from chronicles of elyria as well as taking a company called "bitbox" to court over breach of contract.
