In the last couple of years of this generation, they are.
Didn't used to be so. I expect this tread to be even more frequent if companies like Epic have their way next gen as well.
Of course. When you have more work to do, and deadlines to meet, you hire additional staff. After the work is done, you don't need to be paying staff who have no work to do.

This is never news, when a project ramps down, so do the number of staff. This is how the game industry works, this is what it's like being a contractor/fixed term employee. You're a ronin artist/tech-artist/programmer, going from company to company until you land with one that wants to give you a full time position.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
Or they have to scale back because they don't need that many employees when they're starting a new project - if there is one.
my search for "starbreeze lays off" produced only one thread for Cartel. This search sucks, will use google from now on.

I would also like to add that the contracts signed have start and end dates, so it's not as though the lack of continued employment past a certain date is in any way, shape or form surprising. You're always looking for your next contract or, based on how much time there is left in the project or your facet of it, an extension of your current one.
