I keep hearing about layoffs, studios being closed and how the industry is troubled. Are companies losing money and sales are poor, or is it the same as Google and other companies laying off people just to pump their stock price and make money despite profitability?

Yeah I feel like it's similar to movies in a way. You can only push so much money and development into something before you start seeing diminishing returns.
