Thick as Thieves Studio Now Down to Fewer Than 10 Employees After Further Layoffs

Another round of layoffs has whittled down OtherSide Entertainment, known as Thick as Thieves studio, to a skeletal crew of fewer than 10 individuals. The move casts a long shadow over the studio's operational future.

Thick as Thieves studio, also known as OtherSide Entertainment, now has fewer than 10 employees after laying off an additional 18 staff.

The studio, once a name attached to projects with certain ambitions, seems to be operating on a rather slim margin these days. This latest headcount reduction leaves its employee roster looking less like a development team and more like a small committee, or perhaps the attendance count at an early morning meeting that everyone forgot about.

Eighteen individuals found themselves no longer on the payroll, a number that, when stacked against the new total, makes the previous staff count seem like a distant, halcyon memory. One can only assume the office is now an echo chamber, ideal for contemplation or the faint clinking of lone coffee cups.

Sources familiar with the studio's internal affairs indicate that the future of Thick as Thieves 'does not look good.' It's a statement that, given the raw numbers, hardly requires an oracle or a particularly strong grasp of corporate finance to arrive at. The operational capacity of a studio, it turns out, tends to correlate with the number of people actually doing the operating.
